Europeans get underway with the practice race.

editor

Under the baking Italian sun with the thermometer reading 30 deg, the A-Cat Europeans took to the water for their practice race on Sunday.  The race start time had already been set back an hour by the Race Committee on the previous day, so was now scheduled at 15:00 sharp.  But there were no Delta flag rules in force, meaning that the sailors were free go to and fro afloat as they pleased, although most chose not to do and used the time to check their boats and redo that bad splice they found again. 

Prosecco Sailing at the NED/GER Nationals at Garda

Great report from the International German and Dutch Championships in Malcesine/Lake Garda. from Chris Stock.

Lake Garda is recognised by the international sailing community as one of the best sailing spots in the world, if not the best. Fantastic scenery, Italian dolce vita, clear fresh water and, above all, fairly reliable thermal winds leave little to be desired. It was therefore due to the attractiveness of the area that almost 80 top international sailors from the A-Cats in the Foiler and Classic divisions came to Malcesine for the joint Dutch and German championships.
