Sailing and windsurfing test event October 11th, 2008

The main reason to run the test event was to assess the arena and to check the preliminary racing schedule. The plan is to have two races for one Laser class in the morning followed by a 60 minute change of rigs, and then two more races for the other Laser class. Preliminarily the windsurfers will compete at the same time as Laser Radial, which means racing in the morning every other day.

The test event was very successful, but we came across a couple of issues that need to be addressed. One of them is to build some kind of ramp from between the shoreline and the grass.
