The weather today for the Youth America’s Cup in Barcelona won’t be too bad, it looks like we might finally get four races actually run!
The sun will be out although only 22° during racing time. The sea state will be 40cm – very trivial and wont pose a problem.
The all-important win will be 7-8 knots, this will be enough to start the races but may pose a challenge for the less expert of pilots to get their vessels up onto the foils.
