#fireball – With a fleet that ranges in sail numbers from 12754 (ITA) to 15085 (GBR), the contesting Fireballs for the European Championships in Bracciano, Italy are primed for competition. Measuring concluded today and as a consequence there were lots more boats on the water checking out the conditions.
There was less wind than yesterday, water conditions were flat in comparison to yesterday's easy chop and the wind swung left and right seemingly at random.
The Czechs appeared to go out on the water as a team. Clusters of British boats appeared to be pacing each other, we saw French boats in company, but the Irish each did their own thing. As we wait for the opening ceremony (19:00/18:00 Irish time) the last of the Irish boats is derigging. Kenny & Noel seemed to spend some time in each other's company!
Rain apparently is forecast tomorrow with breeze. At least we expect it to be warm rain!
