A strong start today for the 49er teams at the Olympic qualifier in Lanzarote. Robert Dickson and Sean Waddilove Team Dickson Waddilove 49er Ireland topped the Day 1 leader-board with Ryan Seaton and Séafra Guilfoyle Out2Win Ryan & Séafra placing an 11-8-8 for the day. Conditions off Playa Blanca in the straits between Lanzarote and Fuerteventura were very unpredictable in the fresh trade-wind conditions with added ocean swell. “It was very tricky with the wind coming off the mountains so a ‘head out of the boat’ day but all-in-all, a great start to the regatta,” commented James O’Callaghan, Irish Sailing’s Performance Director. “There’s a long way to go in this regatta but we couldn’t have asked for a better start.” We'll be posting updates here daily.

First multi day Offshore passage for Tomàs - his family was initially worried, but the Saga47swan’s tracker and the daily update post from the crew was a great source of comfort. When we sailed backwards, we could explain, that we were caught in the Azores high with no wind. #adventuresailing #offshoresailing #saga47swan #adventure #sailtraining #bucketlist #atlantic
