 Star  Star Sailors League  Finals  Nassau BAH  Day 3
The weathermen were wrong, as not the announced seabreeze, but a flucky circling wind full of calm zones prevailed and the last two Qualification Series' races of the Star Sailors' League on the Bahamas had to be cancelled. The best 11 after 7 heats continue with the Final Series in a Quarter and a Semi Finals in a knockout system, followed by the Final of the best four to determine the 2015 League Champion taking the US$ 40'000 prize money.
Xavier Rohart/Pierre-Alexis Ponsot FRA left a convincing impression in the light wind races so far. They were the only ones winning two races. As leaders after the Qualifiers, they are already set for the Semi Finals. while the ranks 2-11 sail the Quarter Final race where the best 6 for the Semi Final are selected. 4 of the 7 teams in the Semi will qualify for the Final.
The invited non-Star sailors were partly convincing, above all the two-times Soling Olympic Champion Jochen Schümann/Ingo Borowski GER on rank 4, but also the Laser cracks Jean-Baptiste Bernaz FRA (rank 6) and Tonci Stipanovic CRO (rank 9). Finishing 10th, the Match-Race World Champion Ian Williams GBR has reached his first goal, and it will be interested to follow, whether his matchracing skills will be of an advantage in the smaller fleets. However, should a stronger breeze fill in, it might become difficult for the non-Star-sailors to handle the technically and physicsally challenge boat.
