Interview with Jessica Grahn, Race Office Manager at BMW Dragon Gold Cup 2010.

First start is 1000 today. Two races planned and winds are exprected to be up to 10 m/s with gusts up to 14 m/s. Quite a contrast in comparison with yesterday's wind!

Five knots current and no wind meant that the organizers two hours after the scheduled start cancelled todays race.

Light winds today when sailors go out for race 4 on the Marstrand fjord. UKR8 in the lead in the total standings!

The weather forecast for Wednesday promised lots of rain and wind,  both decreasing in the afternoon. Two races were planned but an approaching thunderstorm and very weak winds made the Race Committee order the sailors to return to port and the second race was cancelled. Winner today was Lars Hendricson in UKR8, who also won race two on Monday. Today’s best Swede was Hans Wallén in SWE316, who finished 5th.

On the second day of racing the Marstrand fjord took its toll. After a couple of restarts the race was on its way but westerly winds up to 13 m/s, 26 kts and heavy seas caused some 15 boats to retire. A second race was scheduled today but was cancelled.

The second day means windy conditions of winds up to 10 m/s. Follow the racing online here!
