On Thursday afternoon, race 1 and 2 of the were finally sailed on a shortened course. A few hours without rain, a little bit of sun and force 1 - 3 beaufort, although a rather shifty wind, allowed the fleet of 61 dragon crews from 14 nations to start racing. The first race went to GER 968, Schattan-Hailer-Binder, the winner of the second race was GER 968, Semmerow-Butzmann-Stettler. Leading after two races is GER 905, Erhard-Erhard-Leismüller (Augsburger Segel Club).

The weather forecast is promising for today and the Race Committee hopes to sail these two important races on Friday, the last racing day. To be or not to be? Only time will tell.

A sailing day after four days of waiting for wind - and the world looks better. On Thursday evening, the Dragon sailors enjoyed a noble "apéro riche", offered by the Gstaad Yacht Club (whose Commodore George Nicholson is helming GBR 672), which has long and friendly connections with the organising Thunersee Yacht-Club.
