Recap day 3
Day 3 is the first finals day! There’s more wind than the previous days so the sailors are excited for some action! Around 10 AM all the boats are launching and heading to the race course. Around 11 AM races started in 12-15 knots and again a clear blue sky: Workum is treating us well! The wind dropped again at the end of the day, but plenty races have been sailed.

HIGH PERFORMANCE COURSE.
At the high performance course the Nacra 15 and 29er are racing shorter and therefore more races: the 5 races sailed on Saturday brings their total to 13 races. The Swiss team of Max and Amanda is still leading the pack at the Nacra 15 class. The 29er is ruled by the French Théo Revil and Gautier Guevel. They have a huge lead with 28 points.
