I was reserving the story of the solo F16 racers for next week, but it seems some of them couldn´t wait! Ok this is the Stealth trailer, from Eric Noyau and Mark Pressdee (MP-Multihulls UK F16 dealer ) that made the long journey from UK to Como. Check video of the Alps Splugen Pass... lucklily they didn´t met a Tornado trailer team coming the other way. More on the Stealth and Solo racers to come...

Hobie Europeans: Day 3

By Andy Dinsdale: "New challenging sailing conditions'' Today marks the first day of the Qualifying series for the Hobie 16 Europeans. After having seen this morning postponed due to light wind, both courses Hobie 16 and Tiger/Wild Cat/FX-One were in action in a consistent breeze.
The Hobie 16 course had two races. The qualifying series were dominated by the Singapore teams as well as 2008 European champion Jerome Le Gal. The Hobie 16 Youth SPI series were still dominated by France. However, the Italian teams really moved in the lighter conditions. Watch out for an exciting final day tomorrow.
On the other course, the Tigers, Wildcats and Fx-Ones managed to get 3 races in the box. Spanish sailor Marc Verdaguer moved in front in the FX-One class. Continuing an impressive series of bullets, Italian team Bissaro/Cesari continued their impressing series of bullets in the Wildcat class. They can almost walk on the water! ;-) In the Tiger the Dutchmen Gerard Loos/ Pieter v. Ruitenburg consolidated their lead with another three firsts! More info and pics HobieClass.com - Full Results

Andrew Dowley: "Great high action Tornado sailing today. 3 races were completed in a 15-20 knot breeze, the wind died off slightly at the top end of the course in the second race but it soon filled in with a slight rain shower. The competitors all commented on the last downwind leg where the breeze was excellent." For more info check: www.tornado-class.org/events/worlds.htm

The podium positions in the Masters were all occupied by Germany with Knud Jansen/Anke Delius taking the title with a total of five points in five races in front of local sailing legend Detlef Mohr/Karen Wichardt followed by Tom Schreyack and Stephan Schubert.
The Hobie 16 EHCA Spi Cup was dominated by France taking the top three. Martin Orion/Charlotte Hilliard won in front of Adrian Orain/Olivier Kersuzan and with Cedric Bader/Nathalie Souquet in third.

Tornado Worlds 2010: Speedsailing day

Travemunde is a great venue for the Speedsailing concept being pushed forward by the International Tornado Association (ITA) to promote Multihulls organizing events prepared for spectators and media.
---------------
Report sent by Andrew Dowley: "We raced the second round of Speed Sailing tonight in the River Trave with thousands of spectators watching from along the shore. The 15 boats all racing along a short and not very wide course which provided action packed Tornado Sailing with lots of wind shifts and gusts. We also had a commentator on the shore for all the guests who were watching. The ferries were stopped for 30 minutes so the races could be started. The overall winners were Roland and Nahid Gaebler with the Greek team being over the line at the start on the final race."
