5.5 Metre Worlds: 5 Races Completed - Marazzi (SUI) Leads

by Thierry Huguenin

The 5.5 World Championship is valid: five races as of today, with two races sailed this morning.

A picture-perfect day of sailing for the 5s on Lago di Garda. Early start at 09:00, a sunny day and northerly winds at about 18-20 knots. Some crowded mark roundings, a few breakdowns and Flavio Marazzi increasing his lead with a first and a third place and 8 points. Bahamian sailor Gavin McKinney "John B" experienced a spinnaker crash in the first race and did not finish but he led the entire second race and got the bullet!
