| In the morning there were the captains meetings. During these
meetings instructions to the team captains were given about
procedures near the shore, the water depths and the competition
courses. Where the boys are, where to wait in line before going to
the starting line, how much time to launch boats etc. These meetings
are quite important, especially because on the water talking is
sometimes difficult and lots of movements exists on the water,
making it rather complex for the organisers to get boats on time at
the starting line and out of the competition field on time again. |
