Travemuende report Report by Lamberto Cesari: “We had a great performance at Travemuende Week, First we won the Wildcat Europeans with 10 bullets and then the German F18 championships, in front of the aussies Burvill-Duffield on the Edge (they’ve been 4th at the recent Tornado Worlds and 29th at the F18 Worlds), and the Sach brothers on Nacra (F18 2006 World Champion and 3rd at the recent Tornado Worlds).

We had a good start the first day with two bullets, but in the third race a sweden boat crashed into our hull that left us out for that race. We got a spare hull from Hobie Cat and a redress from the jury for the race, so we’ve been able to sail the rest of the championships, finishing first just one point in front of Burvill and Sach.”
