2022 Hobie 16 World Championships in Costa Brava Pirineu de Girona, Spain - Day 9
by Hobie Racing 23 Sep 2022 19:26 BST
15-29 September 2022
Strong breeze for day 2 of the onsite qualifier. Four more races were completed in two sessions today. The first session was sailed in 18-20 knots of breeze with higher gusts. Latter in the day the winds moderated just a bit but still quite sporty.
Once again, the sea state was a big factor with wind driven waves mixing in with swell waves from a completely different direction.
Downwind surfing the waves was a priority and teams could make up ground.
There was plenty of movement on the results table throughout the day with the top ten listed below:
