Race2 – Norway vs. Switzerland
Norway lost its match against Turkey and is now facing the
swiss team.
If we lose
again, we are out. Pressure is on.
Start looks much better. They position themselves well and it
looks like they win the start, but its close.
One NOR starts cowered behind and tacks away but Philippe is
on him. NOR tacks in front of Wolf, but he can tack away in clear wind. Damian
is cowered by two NOR, but one tacks away to control Wolf. 2 minutes after
start it looks like NOR has taken the lead. Both NOR do a bad job controlling
Wolf and Damian. They slip by. Maxime comes from the left and forces the NOR on
the windward side of Damian to bear away right into Damians cower. Good job!
NOR goes around first followed by Philippe. The rest is
still fighting at the mark. Damian slips by 3rd followed by NOR, Wolf, NOR,
NOR, Maxime. Switzerland in the lead, but it’s very close.
A ship
blocks my view... grrr ! Going downwind Damian is still in the
lead. The rest is hard to see, but Philippe is not last anymore. I’m not sure but it looks like
Damian, NOR, SUI, SUI, NOR, SUI, NOR, NOR.
Arriving at the third mark the group is very close together.
Still hard to see, but looks like: Wolf, Philippe, NOR, Maxime, NOR, NOR, Damian,
NOR. Switzerland still winning.
Impossible
to see the second reach. But still looks good at the mark.
One leg to go! Damian tries to slows down the NOR around
him. So far it works. Wolf and Philippe slow down the third NOR and Maxime
overtakes him. Well done! 1,2,3 victory for switzerland! Yay!
This was a good race from the team. NOR did well but they failed at covering and slowing down the swiss good enough. We are still in!
