The day started with delay due to the low intensity of the wind but it changed to a slow wind from the south at the beginning of the afternoon. This change let all the races be disputed.

Tomorrow is the end of PHARO regatta –BOSW and the organization committee has decided to start the day earlier, at 11:30.
