No Wind on final day of Palamos Christmas Race
The final morning of the Palamos Christmas Race brought up a gorgeous bright sunshine and blue sky with a south westerly wind from 5-7 knots expected to start blowing around midday. By the time of the first Medal Race for the 470's, and as the 470 Women were heading out to their start the wind dropped and the races had to be abandoned in both classes.
The fleets waited afloat and finally the Race Committee decided to cancel the day's racing as there were no signs of wind.
With no races sailed, the leaderboard remained the same:
Women's 470
1 Lara Vadlan/Jolanta Ogar (AUT)
2 Joanna Freeman/Katie Tomsett (GBR)
3 Ewa Szcesna/Irmina Mrozek (POL)
Men's 470
1 Guillaume Pirouelle/Valentin Sipan (FRA)
2 Gabriel Skoczek/Achille Nebout (FRA)
3 Kevin Pepponet/Julien Lebrun (FRA)
