A mistral wind continues to pound Sardinia, with windspeeds regularly in the 30+ knot range. Yesterday, the shore crews measured gusts as high as 47 knots at the container park in the boatyard.

Conditions are expected to moderate somewhat tomorrow and the forecast suggests conditions return to a 'sailable' range by mid-week. Training for all 10 Louis Vuitton Trophy teams is scheduled beginning on Tuesday - weather permitting.
