The final call for today will be made at 18:45. 18:15 The sailors who are already in the main draw have been released for the day - meaning that only the sailors involved in the trials are still on hold.

Stay tuned. 16:00 The wind still isn't playing ball at the moment so the waiting game continues thus far today. Next call at 16:15, first possible start 16:30. 15:45 Unfortunately the wind isn't quite enough, both Friis and Mauch went out onto the water but neither were really planing.
