“The Nacras would be the hardest class of all to sail today. They aren’t designed to sail in 3-4 knots of wind. Generally they have flat sails with low drag for high performance, so trying to sail a Nacra in conditions it wasn’t designed for is a whole new skill.
Luckily for us, in Jason and Lisa we have two highly skilled operators and we could see a real mix-up in results today. The leaders from Italy, Great Britain and Germany have been strong in big breezes, but have also been known to be susceptible in the lights.
Getting a good start in to clean air with speed up the first leg will be absolutely critical. They need to be bold, aggressive and very definite in their strategies to bring success today.”
