COMPETITORS & BRIEFIED BEFORE LEAVING THE DOCK

The competitor briefing for the Melges 24 Worlds in Travemuende took place at 0900 this morning and the competitors are now leaving the dock ready for the first race which is due to start at 1130.

It's another hot sunny day here on the Baltic and everyone is hoping that the forecast of around 8 knots of wind materialise. We are just starting to get the start of a light breeze here in the press office so can only hope it will extend out beyond the mouth of the river.

If you want to see just how sunny it is here and to find out if the wind does fill in go check out the webcam.

The press office team will be off to the race course shortly and we'll bring you all the news and results as soon as we get back ashore.
