UPDATE #3
Very light wind and strong currents are probably the few words that are summarizing the best today’s 5.5s’ Dutch Open Championship. Only a single race was sailed. Quite a hectic start due to the lack of wind and a nearly 4 kts of tide pushing the boats straight down the line.
Smart as she should be and with an incredible speed in these light conditions, Silver Fox (BAH-20) was able to play the shifts the best and finishes the fifth race of the series first with a lead of 9 minutes. Second Feng shui (NED-26) and third Shaolin (SUI-210).
Odlo (NOR-65) and Pungin (SUI-213) got confused and unfortunately went for the wrong top mark.
