On the past June 30th and July 1st we have celebrated at the ¨Club Nautico de Altea¨ on Alicante, Valencia the 3rdGS Yuasa Boat Race. This year 7 boats have participated, all of them from Spanish teams and with 5 young men among their members 4 crew 1 helmsman.
The fist day of the race developed with middle winds making the sailing very difficult. Only three boats completed the three races, they were the ESP-1, the ESP-66 and the ESP-69. This last one won the three races that day. At night time GS Yuasa invited to the sailors and their families to a wonderful dinner celebration at the Club Naútico de Altea Restaurant. This dinner hoested 25 guests. On the second race day the wind turned more moderated and constant, very adequate for training. This allowed that up to 6 ships finished the race.
Last weekend the Dutch Nationals were sailed at Medemblik, the same venue as the upcoming Worlds. In perfect sailing conditions – sunny with a fresh breeze – Enno Kramer and Ard Geelkerken in NED-26 became the new Dutch Champions. FD Sailing GER 30 / Alexander Antrecht and NED-4 Klaas Tilstra and Pieter Zandstra completed the podium. Congratulations!
With the Worlds coming up in less than three weeks many teams used the opportunity to see if their boat is all ready for the big event. Fortunately, there’s still some time to fit in a few ropes here and there…
Just before the Dutch Nationals the EuroCup Kiel Week took place with plenty of wind and a dramatic last day with races 10 and 11. GER 113 with Kilian König and Johannes Brack so far leading the regatta, broke their mast while reaching and dropped back on 4th place. HUN 70 also broke their mast in the next race. Congrationlations to Kay Uwe Lüdtke and Kai Schäfers finishing the last three races on 1st and winning over all the Kiel Well regatta with DEN 21 Jörgen and Jacob Bojsen Möller on second and HUN 70 Szabolcs MAJTHÉNYI and András DOMOKOS on third.
