Three Races were held today in mixed conditions. First race was 4-5knots, top rider and light wind specialist Matthias Dietz won took a bullet from Ashby, who proceed later to standard labor day winning the last two.
The second and third race had good trapeze conditions upwind and pressure for the downwind legs with some going for foiling in the Silver too.

No racing scheduled for today. Few people sailing and the Arg team went for a free sailing session. Thanks to Michel and Cercle Voile Bordeaux for the tender boat.

Glenn Ashby leads the 2014 Europeans Championship organized by Cercle Voile Bordeaux.
Today Lake Hourtin saw decent winds for the 3rd & 4th qualifying races. Ashby won both races in fleet A and Jason Waterhouse did the same in the B fleet.

Germans Georg Reutter & Matthias Dietz are holding 3rd & 4th overall but tied in 10 points.
Unstable Midrange to 5 knots are the mixed conditions the fleet is having here at Carcans.

The Course area in both fleets had some uneven patches as yesterday, and a late stable breeze entered too just after the races.

Light winds for the first two races of the Europeans, the first leg of the day was possible to trapeze, downwind with some speed, and from then on it was 4-6knots racing.

Although some managed to foil while others were dead flat. In the B fleet Ashby won with ease his first race. He was sailing his 'Alien' mode (With some breeze he had no competition whatsoever). For the 2nd, with 4-5knots it was not that easy and he finished 3rd.
Two fleets were organized due to the 117 sailors. Excellent view having that much As racing together.

Maccagno (VA): Luca Maffessoli wins again an A Cat Italian National Regatta

Great event as reported yesterday hosted by Sail NC at the Outer Banks. Event finished on Saturday after 6 races and Bruce Mahoney was crowned 2014 North Americans Champ. The organizers set a stadard on how you need to promote your event if resources are available.

After a no racing day yesterday, Friday saw good winds and the fleet was able to complete 2 more races. Ben Moon got both bullets and Bruce Mahoney was 2nd in each.
They are tied with 8pts but Ben is currently leading on his wins from today.

Jeremy Herrin and his custom built A scored a double 3rd and is near to climb to third overall when he can discard his DNC on stay failure.

Official report later.
