The trouble is that there's no way to know what type of boat the event will use until it actually opens. Cvetan sometimes opens one of these events early so that the table can be seen, but it will be with an assumed boat... If the actual boat is different, then the table (and all of the initial routings) will be incorrect. And... the event opens at midnight UTC. I'm not sure what time that is for Cvetan, but I think it's probably 2 or 3 AM. So he usually sorts out the correct boat type and cleans things up the next day... So it may be several hours after the event opens before Zezo is running with the correct boat.
But... It's a short race with a fairly long start window, so it is unlikely that the best start time will be immediately after opening. For the moment, it looks like the race course will have typically nice downwind conditions at the start. So an early run might be fun and might look good for a while, but it's likely that heavier conditions will arise eventually that will outperform anything available in the first day.
