Full schedule can be found here - aarhus2018.sailing.org/onb
After a slightly restricted Thursday, the plan is for a catch-up Friday with the Finn and 470 men scheduled to have three races.
Weather forecast: The weather forecast should allow the catch-up. There is still that high-pressure system south of Denmark. But with fewer clouds around on another sun-drenched day the sea breeze is forecast to kick in earlier and stay later, from between 11-13:00 until 19-20:00. That means south and south-easterlies of 8-12 knots, gusting 16.
Temperature: 24-27 ℃
Sea temperature: 23 ℃
