Venue

Wind / Racing: Northern Lake Garda is well known for being a “sailing” Mecca, largely due to the thermally generated “Ora” wind that kicks in from the south usually around 12-1pm, and builds regularly up to a F4 and occasionally up to a F6-F7. During the morning from the North arrives from 6am to 10/11am a regular and strong “Pelèr” Wind. Conventional theory is that “there’s more breeze nearer the cliffs” but that only holds true some of the time and also depends on the racing area you use. Occasionally you can get thunderstorms rolling around the mountains and the clouds and lower temperature can prevent the “Ora” from kicking in. Then the racing with the North Wind can be a good alternative.
