The Night Before Palma
Written by Charlotte Dobson | 04 April 2011
I’m here in Palma the night before racing starts at the Princess Sophia regatta, the first stop on the European leg of the World tour.
I always feel like there is alot of anticipation around in the run up to this regatta, as people come into it fresh from a big block of winter training with new tricks up the sleeves. Looking at the entry list, which in the radial is pretty stacked, this week should be a good opportunity to measure some of this winter’s training goals and check progress has been made where it should have.
At the moment sea breezes look to dominant over the opening series with maybe a couple opportunities to race in the offshore in the mornings, soI think there might be alot of racing over changing conditions in the next few days which should keep things interesting. With this being trials year, every result counts, so I’m looking forward to putting the money where the mouth is.
