Also congrats to Darren Bundock on a full display of professionalism, I’ve been told he personally setup various C2 from customers and his 2BSailing team, great success for ahpc‘s C2 in their first year.—Edit: Hugh Styles/Van West 3rd and Misha Heemskerk/Bastian Tentij 4th It seems Styles was leading and in the last race Bundock went to hunt them: Nacra Boskalis Press Release
And a great salute also to Coen de Koning and Thijs Visser the 2009 champs, Coen also won the 2008 with his Nacra Infusion

But all the results are wrong
how made a team race between the first and the second for the success.
Why Bakes and Jarlegan couldn't win alone ?
I can't get rid of the feeling that styles/van west was the fastest boat on water during this championship…and I'm not really a Nacra fan…;-)
I thought Bundy was better then that. It's a bit of a bullshit result.
The results are that stuffed up they cannot even get them up on the web site.
You guys have done a great job of keeping us updated but if we want mutlihulls back in the olympics we really need to look at getting the race reports and results out in real time not a week later.
That last one was too the organizers not cat sailing news just too clear that up.
Official results not online yet, already asked the class for them.
Thanks, I (there's no 'we'… hehe) was lucky enough to get Alex Udin sending live reports and pics from the course, and also Eric Bellande, not the official photog, to send me some great pictures, more to come. Same with A-Class Worlds, zero info from official site.
Tracking was excellent and videos good but short.
Media frendly events should a priority for Multis. It was strange as last year at Knokke was 1st class coverage, the class will talk about this for sure.
