Rumble in Menorca

It’s the first racing day of the 52 World Championship 2016 Menorca and this morning the atmosphere on the dock in Port Mahón is nothing short of electric. The forecast suggests winds between 15 and 20kts with some frontal activity during the day. There has even been some thunder and lightning over the harbour. All the teams have the same initial objective, maintain a low average points over the day. Avoid the big dips. Minimise the risks. Stay out of trouble. But of course these simple touchstones cannot hold true for everyone.

Quantum Racing won yesterday’s practice race but there is more breeze today. The objective is to sail at least two windward-leeward races to get the championship off to the best possible start.

The 52 World Championship will take place in Mahón, Menorca from 14th-18th September. Racing starts at 12:30 CEST every day, with live coverage on the final three days.
