Practice Day - Tuesday 12th
The wind came in today for the practice - and there were 70 plus karts
on the beach by 10AM. The wind was 10 Knots plus with most on 5.5m to
handle the soft sand. All the Kiwis now have their karts and we have
4 expat NZers from Dubai, UK and Austria joining us.
It was much more even today with Luke, Russell & Nicko now well tuned
up and getting used to the beach. There were a few capsizes today as
sailors overpowered in the soft sand. But there were no accidents or
problems that I saw.
Weigh-in and Pilots introduction takes place this evening, so we'll
see what weight groups we are in.
The sailing area is quite small, but great for spectators.
Team NZ is very conspicuous in their team colours - jackets, sails,
hats, flags.
But it is going to be tight and fast racing tomorrow!
