Day 3: Wet & Wild Wednesday more than lived up to it’s name with casualties along the way as Offringa & Iachino lead the event rankings at halfway stage.
Day 3 of the 2019 Hvide Sande PWA World Cup more than lived up to its billing of wet, wild and windy Wednesday as winds in excess of 35-40 knots battered Hvide Sande while driving rain made visibility precarious at times to provide a stern test of the sailors’ mettle. By the end of the afternoon even the majority of the biggest guys were left reaching for their smallest gear.
