PWA Bonaire Tag 3

---

Der Wind blieb für einen Großteil des dritten Tages der FORSA Bonaire PWA World Cup s leicht, aber am Nachmittag nahm der Wind langsam zu, und am frühen Abend reichte es aus, um die Double Elimination der Frauen bei 15-20 Knoten Wind und spiegelglattem Flachwasser beginnen zu lassen, während die Herren die ganze Zeit auf stand by blieben. Women’s  Double Elimination The first heat of the day saw last year’s world No.5 - Johanne Rümenapp (I-99 / Gun Sails) - versus Jazzy Zwerus (JP / NeilPryde) - who is competing in her first event since 2016. Rümenapp sailed a solid port tack heat landing a flaka, spock and shuvit, but left herself vulnerable as she failed to register a move on starboard tack. Ultimately that cost the German as Zwerus completed her scoresheet on both tacks to progress. Next up for Zwerus was Julia Pakosz and the 23-year-old continued her comeback by showing a much greater level of consistency to complete her scoresheet once again. In the bottom half of the draw Eva Wyss successfully navigated her way past local girl Angela Koch, but she was then eliminated by Francesca Floris (RRD / RRD Sails) in the next round and Floris will now face Zwerus in the battle for 5th and 6th place. The forecast for the last two days of the contest looks excellent with 18-22 knots predicted for Friday, which should almost guarantee an explosive day of action. The sailors will meet again tomorrow morning at 9am for the skippers’ meeting with the action commencing from 9:30am (GMT-4) onwards.
