Again no sailing yesterday, the second day of the Starboat Eastern Hemisphere Championship 2018. A too strong Bora wind in the morning kept the boats in the harbour. The slightly lighter winds during the day were unconstant and circling, and the efforts of the PRO to complete the first race remained without success. After several attempts, two races were finally started but both abandoned after the first upwind.
