Tuesday 14 - evening

Following postponement of the fleet racing, all 36 races in the round robin format Team racing were completed. The only disappointment was that the new IODA team racing course could not be used due to the confines of the sailing area.

The South African team dominated and won all their races. However for the minor places there was lots of excitement with Angola taking the second position from Algeria in a tie breaker. The Tunisian team joined up with the two Australian sailors who had been doing so well in the fleet racing, to also end on the same points as Angola and Algeria.

Tomorrow the championship will revert to fleet racing and the forecast is for light winds which may benefit some sailors who have found the stronger winds more challenging.

As always Africa is full of surprises and Richard
