LACK OF WIND, LUCK FOR EMILIA AND BONA
May 10, 2009

Portofino's Harbour Clears of Classics, Dinner at La Cervara and Varuna's Centennial Portofino glowed brightly this morning with solid sunshine as Portofino Rolex Trophy participants readied in the dock for the final day of racing in this weekend's classic yacht regatta. While offshore in the Ligurian sea the wind was up to twenty knots with a moderate sea state, along the coast and in the gulf there were more waves than wind. With the classics often needing a minimum of eight knots to get going, racing was postponed until mid-day and then eventually cancelled as the south-easterly breeze barely hit six knots.
