F18 German Open 2019: Bianchini & Misserioni 1st
All images by Eleonora Aiori / Circolo Vela Arco. More photos at Circo Vela Arco fb – Nine race held at Circo Vela Arco in Garda. Lolo Bianchini & Marco Misserioni sailing a Windrush Edge/1D won establishing a good gap of 7pts vs nearest competition. Consistency and several 2nds paid big time within a competitive fleet comprised of top Italian and German crews.
Second place for Marco Radman & Luca Cioni, onboard the mighty and still quite competitive Wildcat / 1D Sails. Third place for A-Cat/F18/Tornado sailor Bob Baier & Marc Baier (Scorpion/1D).
Just looking at the bullets distribution in the top ten gives you a sign of great racing among the several different platform racing at Arco.
