Official RS:X Olympic Windsurfing Class Website

Another long day of waiting was endured by everyone before the wind finally filled enough to get two races off. Birthday girl Bryony Shaw [GBR] has extended her lead to 13 points in the RS:X Women's windsurfing fleet whilst Piotr Myszka [POL] holds on at the top of the RS:X men's windsurf fleet with just a one point advanatge.

The AP flags were raised and lowered several times today at Semaine Olympique Francaise as sailors met the same light air fate as the past two days. By the end of the day, the RS:X Men and RS:X Women had both squeazed out one race, but it wasn't the full day of consistent racing they craved. With racing ending Friday, racers must make every race count in order to stay in the top 10.

Light conditions continued into day 2 of this the 4th stop on the ISAF Sailing World Cup. But at least the RS:X Men and RS:X Women put in two races each today.

Light and flukey wind conditions in Hyeres meant a long and fruitless wait for the  66 RS:X men and 33 RS:X women windsurfers registered to race for the Semaine Olympique Francaise. This is the 4th stop on the the ISAF Sailing World Cup. Images by Christian Chardon
