The Lithuanian team “COOL WATER” (ORC1) and the Estonian – “SUGAR” (ORC2) took the leading positions in the ORC groups. Leaders in LYS groups have also changed, where teams from Latvia start. In the LYS1 group, the previous leaders “PROJECT A1” were replaced by “ROCCABELLA”, ahead of the overall score by one point. Before the last stage, the yacht “BLONDY” quite convincingly replaced the previous leaders in the LYS2 group, ahead of the competitors – “FILIAS” and “ELIXIR”. The biggest intrigue before the end of the last stage as the overall winner remains in the LYS1 group.

“The regatta has been going on for several days and after the first two stages we were in second place. Yesterday there were two starts and each start was like a separate stage. The weather was difficult. There was a change of wind all the time “Tactically, and the captain led the boat well. We didn’t make a big mistake. This combination also brought us the best results yesterday,” said Silards Kamergrauzis, a representative of the “ROCCABELLA” team, about the 3rd and 4th stage of the last day of GoRR.

“Our boat is suitable for long distances, not short distances. This was shown by the results of the first two days, where we had the opportunity to take the lead. We are glad that today is the long distance and we will try to push the ROCCABELLA back, Jānis Norde from the yacht “PROJECT A1”, a representative of the team “SARMA & NORDE”.
