World Championships – Medemblik – Race Day 2

August 15, 2012August 15, 2012 ZedNo Comments

The forecast was very windy, getting up to 20 knots! However in reality it was only about 12 – 13 out there. This was great for me as I could plane easily and I didn’t need to pump permanently, making it slightly easier. During the morning, one half of the course was much windier than […]

Medemblik gave us much lighter winds today than yesterday, however it was building slightly throughout the day. For the warmup we played a variation of team handball. We then went out onto the water and did some pumping training to help us if there is a light wind day during the event. After a quick […]
