Light wind conditions on fifth day of racing at the 2021 420 & 470 Junior Europeans
Light wind conditions were not an impediment to hold 3 new races at the 2021 420 & 470 Junior European championships in Formia, Italy.
The 470 class had already reached 9 races yesterday so they have only sailed 2 today, leaving the last 12th race for tomorrow.
The 420 Open fleet counts now 9 races in total. 8 races for the U17. Last races are coming tomorrow to decide our 2021 Junior European champions!
