Torbole regatta Lake Garda

Well the first race was briiliant!
25 knots winds and blazing sunshine....amazing.

20 D-ones, 2 olympic sailors, Gasper Vincec,  fresh from winning Olympic Kiel week in the Finn class and Silvio Santono Olympic Star sailor.
Race 1 and it payed to sail to the right hand side to the cliffs, Santoni banged far right and was first to the windard mark by 1min closely followed by Vincec and Garvin who played the shifts up the middle right.
Ferrari (1st in Bracciano) went left and dropped to 4th.
Silvio Santoni 1st
Gasper Vincec 2nd
Tim Garvin 3rd
Alberto Ferrari 4th

2nd Race and more of the same wind although the course was shortened to one windward leeward, although it over a mile long beat.
Vincec, Ferrari and Garvin all tacked off on the start and banged right, although Garvin sailing in Ferrari's dirty wind dropped right back.
Places changed in the top 5 but it was Michael Maier who took the bullet, Ferrari 2nd, Vincec 3rd, and Garvin was pipped on the line by Paolo Rossi 4th, Garvin 5th

Overall Results after day one
1st Gasper Vincec
2nd Alberto Ferrari
3rd Tim Garvin
4th Paolo Rossi
5th Michael Maier
