The waiting game continues as light winds halt the proceedings
The fourth day of the PWA Pegasus Airlines World Cup proved to be a largely frustrating affair as teasing winds kept the competitors on standby for much of the day. After a very quiet start to the day at 12pm the wind swung 180 degrees and began to rapidly pickup causing a flurry of action on the beach. However the wind remained gusty for much of the afternoon meaning that only a further two heats were completed – one men’s and one women’s semifinal.
In the men’s semifinal – Heat 13 – Pierre Mortefon (Fanatic / North) showed good speed again to win the heat, whilst Ben van der Steen (Starboard / Gaastra / Mystic / Different), Julien Quentel (RRD / NeilPryde) and Alberto Menegatti (Starboard / Point-7) all qualified for their first winners’ final of the week.
In the women’s semifinal – Heat 5 – Marion Mortefon (Starboard / Severne) made the best start to the heat and safely qualified for the final with a proficient display, whilst Lena Erdil (Patrik / Loft Sails / Mystic / AL360) claimed second place. The remaining qualifying places were clinched by Karin Jaggi (Patrik / Severne) and Ayako Suzuki (Starboard / Gaastra / Mystic) meaning that local hero Cagla Kubat (Starboard / Loft Sails) misses out on a place in the winners’ final.

A frustrating day for competitors as winds fail to cooperate.
Day three of the PWA Pegasus Airlines World Cup saw just three heats completed in the women’s second elimination dues to light and flukey winds. Conditions looked to be improving quickly by 2pm, but it didn’t last long as 5 knot holes were to be found on the race course. The day continued to frustrate with many heats started and then abandoned, first men’s semi final.
However three women’s heats were completed. In heat two, the first heat of the day, local hero Cagla Kubat (Starboard / Loft Sails) was victorious, while Marion Mortefon (Starboard / Severne), Lena Erdil (Patrik / Loft Sails / Mystic / AL360) and Gelly Skarlatou also qualified for the next round. In heat three Burce Vardarli, Melek Toraman (Starboard / Loft Sails), Ceren Yaman (JP / NeilPryde) and Deniz Sekercioglu qualified. Heat four saw Marianne Kaplas (Starboard / Severne) who finished first in her heat. Also qualifying from heat four were Delphine Cousin (JP / NeilPryde), Valerie Arrighetti (Tabou / Gaastra / Mystic) and Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / Gaastra / Mystic / Chris Benz / Maui Ultra Fins) respectively.
Racing is scheduled to resume tomorrow at 11am, if conditions allow.
