Lanzarote International Regatta
Shifty Northerly Breeze brings a new Lanzarote Challenge
The first northerly breeze of the week brought flatter water and shifty, offshore wind conditions. Compared with previous big wave days at Lanzarote International Regatta, day six was a completely different challenge.
iQFOiL women
Over the four races in the iQFOiL women’s fleet, Pilar Lamadrid (ESP) put down the most consistent performance. It was a strong comeback after the Spanish rider had been forced to pull out of racing on the previous day.
iQFOiL men
In the iQFOiL men, Sam Sills started the day well but slipped in the later races. The British rider hangs on to the leader’s yellow bib by the skin of his teeth, as the reigning World Champion from Germany, Sebastian Koerdel, draws level with Sills on points.
Nacra 17
There’s a new leader in the Nacra 17 catamaran with the French team of Billy Besson and Noa Ancian moving to the top after three more races.
This international event organized by Marina Rubicón with the support of the Royal Canarian Sailing Federation is possible thanks to the institutional sponsorship of Promotur Turismo de Canarias with the financing of the REACTEU Fund and Tourism of the Cabildo de Lanzarote through the sports product European Sports Destination (managed by SPEL-Turismo Lanzarote), as well as the public collaboration of the Yaiza City Council and the private entities Dinghycoach, Naviera Armas & Cabrera Medina (Cicar).
