WOW....
The 2007 F18 worlds started today with an absolute bang.
Winds gusting 30knts and 3metre seas caused havoc across the course - 16 capsizes and many breakages caused the additional races to be cancelled for the day.
Wind expected to increase tomorrow so probably no sailing.
2 Ambulances and 3 people in hospital added to the drama along with a demasting and numerous breakages and collisions taking out some of the other boats.
Wednesday looks to be even worse, I Just walked to the beach from the Rydges resort the sand blasting the boats still on the beach were getting was a sight to see.
Bundock and Booth were a class act. Nacra Pro team went out after the race and fine tuned thier heavy weather sailing in prep for the rest of the event.
US Nacra team had mainsheet give way and retired to fix .hoping for better results in second race but it was cancelled <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
