The party's over, it's time to call it a day, they've burst your pretty balloon and taken the moon away…  And the A-Cat 2026 European Championships come to an end.  The final day turned out to be Thursday this time.  Out on the Mar Menor, race officials went out at 10am to monitor real world conditions rather than relying on forecasters or computer algorithms, sending back reports every 15 mins to Juan Antonio, the PRO, who needed to formulate a plan of Go/No GO for the final scheduled race day.

It was a 12pm start on the fourth day of the A-Cat Euros.  The PRO had seen the forecast and hoped to manage accordingly.  The wind was due to pick up to unspeakable speeds later in the afternoon, so he wanted to squeeze a couple of cheeky races in, at not least so the sailors got that precious second points drop discard after completing a 9 race series.
