2018 Star Class Eastern Hemisphere Championship

Two races were held today, the last very tough day of the Star Eastern Hemisphere Championship 2018.  The winds were very shifty and the PRO had a very difficutl time, but luckily a fifth race was finished and teams could discard their worst score and ensured a regular championship.
 

A cloudy, sunny and rainy day, with an east-north-east wind blowing first (Bora) and a north-west wind coming in later on, in the most changeable weather ever, the first three races of the Star Eastern Hemisphere Championship 2018, held in Trieste by Yacht Club Adriaco, were sailed today.
 

Racing was cancelled again on Day 2 of the ISCYRA Eastern Hemisphere Championship 2018, organized in Trieste by Yacht Club Adriaco, with a fleet of 67 teams, from 17 nations.

The debut of the Star Eastern Hemisphere Championship 2018, organized in Trieste by Yacht Club Adriaco, is postponed until tomorrow. A truly capricious wind didn't allow the Race Committee to begin the start sequence of the first two races scheduled for today. 67 crews from 17 nations will have to wait until tomorrow.

68 international teams from 16 Nations are gathering in Trieste to attend the 2018 ISCYRA Eastern Hemisphere Championship, hosted by Yacht Club Adriaco from tomorrow, May 2nd, to Saturday May 5th, with a total number of 7 races.

After the prelude, Coppa Tito Nordio, held during the weekend in the Gulf of Trieste and won by ISCYRA President Hubert Merkelbach and Markus Koy (GER), everything is ready to kick off the Championship with the official opening ceremony tonight.
