(Breskens, The Netherlands)- The forecast for the upcoming Breskens
Sailing Weekend looks good, especially for the fleet of J/sailors
participating in the J/111 class. All in all, it will be a nice
three-day weekend. In fact, it looks a lot like a copy of last weekend.The weekend starts with the passage of a Low pressure disturbance on Friday with solid southwesterlies, after which unstable air is fed on Saturday and the wind veers into the north. But, then on Sunday, a High pressure is pushing in and backing the winds into the southwest again.
