Principal race officer of Tallinn’s event, Andrus Poksi described the race: “This event passed in difficult conditions – the wind was up and down and shifting. On the first day we tried to hold three races, but couldn’t carry these out. On the second and third day we were able to do 4 races. Overall, it is clear that such competition conditions are quite rare. Although the track was short, it was tough and men did in changing conditions very good job.”
