Venue overview[]

Race area and course[]

Of the three Campos (Race areas) available for the 2012 Vintage Yachting Games at Lake Como Campo Charlie was used for the Soling event. This Campo is situated in front of the city of Bellano.

For the Soling the Campo Charlie was available. Course 2

For the 2012 edition of the Vintage Yachting Games, three different courses were available. The Soling could only use course 2.

Wind conditions[]

The northern part of Lake Como is reportedly a thermic wind venue. At this time of year, the normal situation is that at about 1 pm the Swiss mountains are heated up and a southern wind hits the racing areas at about 10 to 14 knots. As a result of this, no races are scheduled in the morning. Unfortunately, during the event, the temperature in Switzerland was low. Also, the thermal south breeze battled with the gradient wind from the north. As a result, the actual wind did not rise above eight knots during the races and was unstable at times.

Campo Bravo has normally a tendency to have a slightly higher wind speed than the two other Campos due to it being more northern than Charlie so that the southern thermal breeze is strengthened and to the lake narrowing in front of Dervio.
