Started around Bornholm
The fleet of round Bornholm yachts is underway. In perfect conditions - four force winds and a mix of lots of sun and a few clouds - the crews were able to begin the journey to the island of Bornholm, around 120 nautical miles away. The 21 seagoing yachts in four starting groups crossed the starting line in front of the Warnemünde Westmole from 12.05:XNUMX p.m. without any problems. They were observed by numerous visitors Warnemünder Wochewho didn't want to miss the starts. According to the weather forecast, the crews expect winds from the west of four to five forces in the next few days. The total distance to be sailed is around 280 nautical miles. Together with the medium-distance regatta Mecklenburgische Bäderregatta, which was already sailed on Saturday, the final result from Rund Bornholm will be included in the rating for the WIRO XXL Cup, which will be awarded at the award ceremony on Thursday (July 7.7).
