Wind on the very last day brought finally results for the speed windsurfers and kiteboarders in Dungarvan, Ireland. There was just enough time to complete a few fast runs along the speedstrip, with the fastest speed of the event set by Dave Williams (GBR, Best) at 44.2 knots over 250m.
Andrea Baldini (ITA) set the top speed in the windsurfers fleet with slightly over 40 knots, and Zara Davis (GBR) took victory in the womens fleet.
In the Kiteboarding fleet, Jason McCaffrey (GBR, Cabrinha) and Jemma Grobbelaar (GBR, Flexifoil) were on top after two completed rounds.
The event came to an end with the pricegiving ceremony held in the Dungarvan Harbour Yacht Club, and a party that is lasting until the late night.
A big thank you goes out to all sponsors, supporters and volunteers that made this event happen !

Another long day came to an end, without further results. After a drastical change in the weather forecast, the race committee was looking to set a proper course the whole day, but apart from a few violent gusts the wind never stabilized enough to start a race.
Tomorrow the action returns to the original event venue as the foracast is calling for southwesterly winds.

Day three of the competition brought some action in the afternoon, after the race committee relocated the participants to a new venue a few kilometers away with a better angle to the wind.
Racing was started then at 14:00 hours, in very gusty and shifty winds variying from zero to 25 knots. Still the course was pretty broad and hte gusts usually never long enough to help the competitors over the complete course.
After 90 minutes the wind dropped completely, resulting in several rescue actions.
