FONCIA wins MOD70 European tour LEG1

Hurrah, Foncia has won the 1st Leg in the MOD70 European Tour from Kiel to Dublin. 

Dun Laoghaire harbour - Dublin

As  was expected, the 1st Leg was a fast race helped by mostly strong winds and would be a close race. Except for the last miles, where the 3 leading boats moved slowly in 3-5 kts of wind. But a separation of 300-500 meter only!

LiveSkipper virtual boats are still sailing in the Irish Sea to Finish in the course of today Thursday.
