The Laser 4.7 Worlds had their first day on the water yesterday with the Practice Race. As always in tune-up races, only a few boats finished the races disputed in two fleets enjoying good sailing conditions. The Brasilians Joao Siemsen (from another famous BRA sailor's family) and Hugo Monteiro recorded the victories. As from today, things become serious for the 149 participants from 28 nations. The first start is at 13 hrs local time. The (meaningless) results of the Practice Race.
