Big Breeze on Final Day in Malcesine »
July 18, 2010
The week long heat wave final gave way in the early hours of the morning with a huge thunderstorm and big cold front being left behind. With an 830 am warning, the Samba team gathered at breakfast and piled some extra protein while we looked out at the lake showing a 20-25 kt Northerly.
Using great speed in the first race and solid boathandling, we were able to carve out a nice race win. By the time the second race started the breeze had backed to the 13-15 range, but we were still able fight it out in the front group and hang on to a 4th place. We made a small charge to move from 7th to 5th overall, but being 1 point out of 3rd leaves a bad taste in the mouth when you look back at all the areas where you could have gained it back. Congrats to Luca Lalli on B Lin for a great regatta victory.
