Six races in two days for the 2024 Star Western Hemisphere in Miami
Another three races were sailed on Day Two of the 2024 Star Western Hemisphere in Miami, Florida. A wavy Biscayne Bay offered a great stage for a regatta with a steady Northeasterly breeze blowing from 11 knots in the first run (race 4 of the Championship) to 18 in the last one – sixth overall.
Three races on Day One in Miami despite the changing wind conditions
Day One of the 2024 Star Western Hemisphere wasn’t an easy one, both for the competitors nor for the Race Committee. The first race was sailed with a dying breeze still coming from 330 that didn’t even allor all of the 33 teams to finish within the time limit, then, after quite the wait on the water, the wind switched and for race 2 and 3 came from 130, starting light and then picking up.
