44Cup Marstrand Day 2 - Team Aleph joins the dots to lead
by 44Cup 3 Jul 06:05 BST
30 June - 4 July 2021
In an example of the high performance RC44 one design class' typically ultra-close racing, so yesterday's winners dropped to the bottom of the pile at the 44Cup Marstrand today as those managing to remain the most consistent rose gradually to the top.
For competitors and race management alike it was a difficult day with an overcast sky, 15 knots of northeasterly offshore wind that dropped to below 10 as the afternoon wore on. This was combined with a tricky current, mostly sweeping right to left across the course, often favouring the right side. This was different from yesterday in the bigger conditions when any favourable current seemed more random.
