Stunning Outlook For Race Day Five

The clouds have been sent packing from Port Phillip leaving a stunning summer’s day and an outlook of E-SE 15- 20 knots tending S-SE. Off host club for the ISAF Sailing World Cup Melbourne, Sandringham Yacht Club, the sea is calm.

On race day five of the World Cup and Sail Melbourne six courses and the full race management team of around 140 officials and volunteers will be in operation.

In the Olympic, Paralympic and Kiteboarding the following classes will be racing today – Men’s 470, Women’s 470, Finn, Laser, Women’s Laser Radial, 49er, 49erFX, Men’s RS:X, Women’s RS:X, Nacra 17, Skud 18, 2.4mR, Men’s and Women’s Kiteboard.

Today is the final day of qualifying races for the 49er, 49erFX, Men’s RS:X, Women’s RS:X, and Men’s and Women’s Kiteboards ahead of tomorrow’s medal races, which start from 12:00 hours.
