SEBASTIAN KORNUM
It was radical to sail in those conditions. The first day it was sunny which made it harder as when we were sailing to the beach you could not see anything into the glare, not even the first mark. The weed was not that big of a problem because we had so much power and we were flying pretty high in the water. I think the weed looked worse on the water than it felt on the equipment. It was difficult and a lot of quick decisions had to be taken around the marks, I did not want to do anything too radical and get injured. I know I am not one of the main contenders! The racing was very physical and I think it made everybody very tired. I can’t compete with the likes of Albeau, I am not fast like the big guys. I had some decent starts at the pin end so I could choose the line that I wanted to take. If I start in the middle I feel like I am locked in a position. As I am lighter I use more energy in strong winds, then I get tired and that is when the mistakes start to happen. Albeau was not under the same sort of pressure as me. I watched him in one race when he was ahead of me and he looked relaxed and making the right decisions. I was just hanging on and trying to keep hold of the boom after the gybes!
