Wednesday, 10th October

Today the weather at Kanon Marina was overcast with occasional light rain.  The containers were opened and teams unloaded their equipment to prepare their boats in readiness for measuring and racing later in the week.

Meanwhile the Organising Committee was busy putting the final touches to the venue;  ensuring all sailors and their support people were comfortable in their accommodation; and organising transport for sailors from hotels to the Marina .

The Paralympic Development Programme finishes on 11th so sailors were taking advantage of the expert coaching provided by World Sailing.
