Second Race Day started again with very low wind. After waiting a short time the second race was started. With the fleet divided into two groups it gives you the chance to view the spectacultar starting-scenes of the other group. But just 10min later you are involved yourself in all the troubles at the starting line.

After two “not too bad” starts we finally got awake and had a perfect start – hitting the starting line with full-speed. The only problem – 3 sec too early!!!! F*** – our first OCS (On Course Side). But we were in good companion – together with 14 other yachts the second race day was over after two races ;).

This night was Austrian Night – as Austria is applying for the Platu 25 World Championship in 2011. Free Beer and Speck – all night long ;).

A short video of the 3rd race of the Platu 25 World Championship in Punta Ala (Italy). Start of the yellow group.
