Statement from the heart

Nayuta Yamato at Opening Ceremony
Nayuta Yamato at Opening Ceremony

At the Opening Ceremony on Saturday (13th) Nayuta Yamato, a member of Hiroshima Sailability come to the stage and said, “I have a severe disability and was suffering to live when I met Hansa.  I cannot even sit on an ordinary chair, however Hansa gently wrapped me and took out me to the sea. There I found how wonderful the sea is.  Hansa gave me a new life.  I hope that many people receive gifts of life through the Hansa Worlds. ”

Day 2 of racing – 15th (Monday)

Wind was just over 5 knots at the beginning of the first race. Sailing was tricky for the 303 doubles. The wind direction changed mid race and the organising committee changed the course mid-race. These conditions were quite challenging for sailors and officials.

The afternoon session saw the wind pick up. There were two Liberty, 303 single and 2.3 races and conditions were sensational. Sailors enjoyed the afternoon.  🙂 Linda

 

Everyone must be having a heck of a good time in Hiroshima because I haven’t been sent any information today, and the results haven’t been posted as at 10.30pm Sydney time.   As soon we have some information we will post 🙂
