Sailors went afloat full of expectations but, despite wind to sail, it was not stable enough for the Race Officer to get a reliable course set.
After a few hours the boats came back ashore and waited for 2 hours. All were entertained by clowns and a small fun fare that had been erected for the sailors.
By 5pm racing was cancelled for the day. Young European sailors showed their ski queue decorum (sic) as 200+ sailors attempted to put their sails into the sail shed all at the same time.
We got back to the hotel for a swim!
The dark blue Aussie team shirts are a hit! All the kids are desperate to swap for an Aussie shirt; so Carolina & Tom can name their price. On the subject of team gear, there are some impressively dressed countries, where suppliers & national federations have teamed-up to provide some smart kit for the teams, including smart Musto offshore jackets for the Japs and Germans that must cost a fortune and are totally unsuitable for the >25C conditions but will be great here in 6 months time!
