Last Ranking Update in 2010

We decided to finish the year with 2 match races (Brindisi and Sukošan). We went to Brindisi in to get the top 3 finish. Unfortunately the wind on Saturday was very light and the organizers had to split the competitors into 2 Groups to finish the Round Robin. We started with a bad prestart againts top seeded Chateau and in 2nd race won with a big margin of 1 Leg. Than came the deciding 2 races vs Rajar and Kliba. We won both prestarts but lost the races at top mark when wind droped and little puffs decided the winners.

Lumba vs Barakude

Last match race of the season we sailed in Sukošan on the Seascape 18. There was 7 teams capable of winning and at the end the experienced Tome Bašič showed everyone he still got it. We got 5th place after making some bad mistakes. We ussualy won the prestart giving 6 pens and taking 2. Last Ranking update puts us in 114. place on ISAF World Match Race Ranking.We will start the 2011 season in late January or early February. Until than we will train on our boathandling skills.
