FW World Championship Day 2

Today we had condititions for formula - not for surviving and the resuls have changed. The wind was about 15-18 knots all the time. We had 3 races for youth and 4 for masters.
IIn youth fleet Sebastian Kornum had 4 bullets from yeserday, but today he had to fight hardly for place in Top 5. Mateo BRA 767 was the leader today, he took two bullets and one second place. I was going really fast, but I have made some stupid tactical mistakes - sometimes it is hard to predict the wind shifts.
So today I finished 6th, 12th, and 5th. I was using strongly downhauled 11,0 and ZE0S- on Starboard HWR.
In Master fleet Bryan DEN 173 is leading against the Black Point 7 team rider Andrea Cucchi ITA 1.
The most crucial part off racing here in Skive is tactics. Which tack to start, when to turn it is very hard to predict. Thats why locals suddenly  apear from nowhers while foreigners are dissaapearing to somewhere.
Today in race 2 it was more favorable to start on port, but before race 3 jury has changed the starting line although the wind hasn't changed. So it became very hard to start on port tack. The best way to start was to start on starboars and then to tack quickly on port. There were and more tricky parts in the race. I hope tomorow we will have even less wind so I hope it will be possible to use ZE4S-.
