#Opti – Organisers at the European Optimist championships in Lake Balaton, Hungary where an Irish team is competing are struggling to complete races in just five knots of breeze.
Only about half of the scheduled races have been sailed up to lunch time Thursday. The forecast looks a little better for today and Saturday (the last day).
After 4 races top Irish girl is Clare Gorman lying 38th overall from 102 and in the boys Peter Fagan lying 57th from 146 boys.
Top highlights have been Loghlen Rickard's fifth in race two and Clare's sixth in race four.
The conditions appear to be suiting foreign sailors with more experience sailing in tricky light wind lake conditions.
