High winds in Valencia
Document Actions
The normally calm Valencia waters took on a stormy aspect. Established at more than 35 knots, with gusts to 35 the race committe wisely took the decision for fleet to head back to port. There will be two starts tomorrow to make up for the lost time.

Sebastien Destremau, tactitian
«A solid 26, 28, 30 knots, with incredible gusts… It could have turned out to be a distaster. We didn't even sail for once. Some teams put up their mainsail. We were already headed in when the race committe took the decision to call the race. It is better this way, it is more reasonable. The wind should decrease during the night and we can resail the race tomorrow . ».
