Open Team Race Qualifier Leschi

The first day of the Open Team Race Qualifier began with intense competition amidst shifty breeze, challenging sailors to adapt swiftly. The wind was between 7 and 10 kts oscillating between the South and Southwest when suddenly a 35kt squall blew through the racecourse. Racing was suspended at 3:30 PM due to that squall, ensuring safety but leaving anticipation high for the next day's events.

Sunday at the Open Team Race Qualifier brought consistent breeze, averaging 9-12 knots from the south, though punctuated by significant oscillations to the east and west. Despite the challenging conditions, a full round-robin was completed. Additionally, a top 4 bottom 4 round-robin format was successfully executed, further testing the competitors' tactical prowess. The day concluded with a sense of accomplishment as all scheduled races were completed.
