Andy Tunnicliffe and Ricki Riggs claim Flying 15 European title on last day
At the early morning briefing PRO Ines Cabrer announced a forecast similar to the previous day, a small window of opportunity for racing anytime after 1300 hrs with the likely chance of one final race.
The fleet left the Club de Mar marina before noon to sail out to the start area in Palma bay. However when they got there it was still too light to set a good course for racing. For about an hour we waited in the warm sunshine for a fickle sea-breeze to stabilise. Finally around 1345 hrs a gentle 7 - 10 knots fluttered in from the South. The breeze was oscillating but was enough to sail one last race before cut off time on the final day.
Race Day 3
We were all warned at the morning briefing at Club de Mar that there would be a small window of opportunity when there could be 1 or 2 races between 1300 hrs and 1600 hrs. The forecast was for two pressure systems to be fighting from opposite directions and the weak breeze would not stabilise until lunchtime at best.
