A grey, overcast morning welcomed the sailors from the ten Olympic classes as well as Open Kiteboarding and the 2.4 Norlin OD, a Para World Sailing event, to the boat park with an expected morning breeze of 7-12 knots from the west.
The afternoon looks brighter as the cloud cover clears and the sun set to come out to join the westerly wind which will pick up to 12-17 knots.
