		<title>Breeze continues to build</title>

11th June, 10:40 - Local Time

As the principal race officer predicted, the breeze is building in Porto Cervo. Peter Craig commented: 'Our boat on the water has seen an increase in average windspeed to 24 knots, with gusts of 28-29. We’ll keep the postponement flag in play, and we will monitor the conditions, but we suspect the chances of getting a race in are  becoming slimmer as the day goes on.']]></description>

		<title>Gunning to go sailing</title>

Steve Hayles, navigator on the 54.6m Vitters ketch Marie, gives the chance of racing today as no better than 50/50. “The strong wind seems to have arrived earlier than the forecast told us. It’s a north-westerly and when the wind is blowing from that direction in Sardinia it’s nearly always windier than the forecast predicts.]]></description>

		<title>Kora 5 and Highland Fling win Day 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[PORTO CERVO, SARDINIA
10th June, 2011 - 18:00 Local Time

Kora 5 of Portofino and Highland Fling were the winners on Fitzroy Race Day, the third day of the Loro Piana Superyacht Regatta 2011 in Porto Cervo.

The sun was strong and the wind blew hard, the wind gusting up to 24 knots. Wisely the race committee set a southerly race course away from the stronger breezes that funnel past La Maddalena island. ]]></description>

		<title>On the edge for Saudade and the Cruising Fleet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[PORTO CERVO, SARDINIA
10th June, 2011 - 12:30 Local Time

The Cruising Division has set out on a 27-mile course that takes them reaching south towards and around the islands of Mortorio and Soffi, before turning north past Porto Cervo to Monaci and  then back to Porto Cervo.

The wind is blowing just over 20 knots, a challenging but raceable wind speed for these large yachts. The narrow confines of Bomb Alley would have been a step too far, and this open sea course will give the fleet more manoeuvring room.]]></description>
