RC44 Championship Tour, no wind no race

RC44 Championship Tour – Dubai – Niente di fatto oggi a Dubai: dopo la stupenda giornata di ieri, infatti, il vento non si è steso e a Peter “Luigi” Reggio non è rimasto altro da fare che rinviare l’inizio dell’evento di match race a domani.

Ricordiamo che l’RC44 Gold Cup è l’ultimo evento del circuito 2009 riservato al monotipo disegnato dal binomio Justin-Coutts e ha valore doppio ai fini della classifica.

RC44 CHAMPIONSHIP TOUR, RACE CANCELLED
[RC44 Press Release] The RC44 Championship Tour match race could unfortunately not begin today as expected due to the lack of wind. The strong “Shaman” that was blowing over the past few days is gone and the sea breeze is not established yet. Chief Race Officer Peter “Luigi” Reggio stayed out on the water all day, looking for the breeze and trying to find a solution. He waited until 4.00 PM to take the only possible decision as the night falls at 5.30 pm.

The match racing event will be held in one day tomorrow. The ten strong RC 44 fleet will be split in two groups, with every team completing a total of five flights. There will then be a final series between the first and second, third and fourth, fifth and sixth etc.

The racing will start according to the schedule at 11.30 am.
