The sunshine was out and the northerly breeze was blowing, but the direction was all over the place on day seven of the Lanzarote International Regatta, Part 2.
Sailors have come from around the world to train and race out of Marina Rubicón in the south of Lanzarote, but even the most reliable of sailing venues has its ‘off days’.
Friday is the final day of the regatta when the medals will be decided in the Nacra 17 and iQFOiL fleets.
