RC44 Austria Cup
The RC44 class visits Lake Traunsee in Austria for match and fleet racing in volatile conditions. After a thunderstorm rolled in during the first day of fleet racing, tactician Michele Ivaldi aboard the Slovenian Team CEEREF said, "It was a very tricky day, on the edge of being unpredictable especially in the last race when the wind basically shut down and filled in from the other side. We just had to race head down and work hard with what we had to get the most out of the boat."
