A-Class German Nats 2018 @Scheweriner Cat Cup: Day 1

by · Published · Updated

Photos & report sent by  Christian Schaefer & Results by Lars Schroder –  Nice pic of the new Dna F1x foil, which as noted took Exploder D3 concave horizontal section concept, as Exploder took ideas from DNAs first Z. As always it is an evolution game, and with time hull and foil designs converge towards the most proven solution. On the F1x  it seems Mischa continues with teething issues for the new platform.

Report by Christian Schaefer: “On Friday Mischa gave a training for 8 boats, l was for the afternoon with him on the rib. Strong danish participation.

Yesterday (April 28th) race committee managed  to send the 33 boat
fleet in five races, making the most out of available wind.  Conditions
have been tricky for participants with very patchy, narrow lanes of
wind, allowing for gains when getting quickly enough on the foils before
wind was over.

Thomas Paasch showed the most
consistent results with a first place on leaderboard, followed by
Roeland Wentholt and Matthias Dietz, who is currently best German in the
fleet.
Mischa got his grip on conditions in third race, which
had the best wind conditions so far. In last race he had been forced
out by mechanical issues.
The last two races have seen Martin
Bach in the lead on its classic DNA, a move up that wasn‘t achieved by
other classic boats in the fleet.
Forecast for Sunday is not too promising wind-wise, event schedule allows for sailing until Monday however.
On
the material side, Misha and Mike Moedlhammer are using the latest F1x,
boards apparently got an update since Campione according to boatpark
chats.
Please find attached PDF of intermediate results, pic of AUT 96 foil, start of first race.
As
we had a drone in the air quite some time as well as professional
photographer on media boat, have an eye on the fb page of event for more
pics and vids:
