 The 5.5 World Championship was held in Sopot, Poland from 9-13 June with 20 international teams on the start lines. Yacht Club de Monaco was represented by Edward Wright on Ku-Ring-Gai III who pulled off a fine performance to come 3rd overall after nine races.
Conditions were particularly demanding throughout the week with racing cancelled on the first day due to gusts up to 30 knots sweeping across the bay. Consistency was key for the rest of the week as while the 12-16 knot breezes were steady, racing was demanding in terms of strategy and sheer speed.
Edward Wright won two races and was in the top five for five others, confirming his level and that of his crew against the world’s specialists in this class.
