Star Class Honoring the Past, Leading the Future
A stormy day on Lake Balaton meant no additional races were completed at the Star Eastern Hemisphere Championship.
After a morning spent waiting ashore for enough breeze, the fleet launched in the early afternoon as a forecast cold front arrived with 16–18 knots. Racing got underway, but conditions quickly intensified, with gusts reaching 30–31 knots on the first upwind leg of Race 5.
With safety as the priority, Race Officer Péter Farkas abandoned the race and sent the fleet back to shore. All teams returned safely to the harbor as the wind continued to build.
The championship will now come down to the final day, with two races scheduled and lighter southwesterly winds currently in the forecast.
