After last week’s fast and furious day of racing at Club Vass, slightly lighter winds presented the opportunity for the more technical sailors to shine!

Once again the day dawned quiet and tranquil here in the magnificent Bay of Vassiliki. However the morning calm was quickly replaced by a gusty Northwest wind, giving testing side shore racing conditions. With gusts up to 15kts and lulls at around the 8kt mark it proved difficult even for the best.
The slight drop in intensity meant that the competitors could sail comfortably on their preferred gear. The course layout remained the same, and the stage was set for an entertaining evening on the water.
A huge fleet of around 40 competitors from Neilson, Wildwind and Club Vass all lining up for what was once again one hell of a race! Last weeks convincing winner Niko was looking slightly nervous this time around, with the lighter winds and all of his 108kg the big man knew it was going to be a tough race to win!!
The NeilPryde RS:X is driven from the belief that the Olympics, as the pinnacle of nearly all major sporting achievements, should also be the pinnacle of achievement in windsurfing. The Olympics should present the best athletes, on the best equipment, in a showcase for the very best performances in the sport.
