GC32 Villasimius Cup Day 1 - French and Swiss bullets on opening 25 knot day

A dramatic opening day at the GC32 Villasimius Cup saw two races held before black clouds descended on the race course causing the wind suddenly to build to 25+ knots from the southwest, kicking up a rough seastate. Deeming it unsafe for the flying catamarans and to avoid damage on this first day, PRO Bill O’Hara called it a day and sent the seven GC32s back into the Marina di Villasimius. The GC32 Villasimius Cup is the fourth and penultimate event of the GC32 Racing Tour 2018 season. With dramatic Sardinian mountains as a backdrop and with racing taking place in the protected maritime area around Capo Carbonara. www.gc32worlds.com
