The ORCi World Championship organized by HORC, begun with excellent prospects for the Greek sails. Two Greek yachts are placed in the first 5 places so far after the completion of 2 races proving that they have the ability to make an impressive finish and win a distinctive place at the end of the regatta hosted in the Saronic Gulf.
George Andreadis MELITI IV won the 1st place in the 2nd race and is so far 2nd overall and Nick Lazos and Pericles Livas SUPERFAST RACING won 2nd place in the 1st race and is 4th overall so far. After the completion of the two inshore races the Italian yacht SAGOLA skippered by F. Pierobon is placed 1st overall.
The first day of the Chamionship was very exciting and trying for boats and crew due to the strong winds of the Saronic Gulf (6 - 7 Bft). The sailing conditions were difficult for windward - leeward racing and that was the cause of the 2 hours postponement of the races.
