An early wake-up call for the 224 sailors present in Porquerolles for the 12mR World Championship, with a briefing at 8am and the first competitors joining the race zone at 8.30am.
As planned, at 9:30am, the race committee was able to launch the start of a course built in ideal conditions, with a north-easterly wind oscillating between 12 and 20 knots. The fourteen 12mR boats then sailed two races in quick succession. As the wind ran out of steam during the third race, it was cancelled for Group 2 and restarted as soon as the wind picked up again at 14:34 by the race committee.
