Day 4: A Perfect Day For Mortefon Sees The Frenchman Regain Event Lead While Offringa Extends Her Advantage Heading Into The Final Two Days
With the conditions being a stark contrast to yesterday with lighter winds – 10-18 knots – and extremely flat water that meant that the sailors were really pushing the starts on – Day 4 of the 2019 Hvide Sande PWA World Cup – with the start being so critical in these conditions. However, that led to a lot of disqualifications with an exceptionally fine line between success and failure when looking for a perfectly timed start – which resulted in just over quarter of the men’s field being disqualified through premature starts – 14/53 – 26.41% – in Elimination 5. Another fine day of racing in Denmark saw day four conclude with a further two eliminations in both the men’s and women’s fleets.
