New Milestone for the team today!!!

35th on the ISAF World Match Race Ranking....it took us exactly 4 years and 31 events to get here. During the years we had a lot of crew changes and we would like to thank everyone who made an effort to help us....

OM Match Race, Lago di Ledro - Grade 2

Day 1 - Long day on the water today but nothing went our way. We won one match out of seven. We lost 3 matches that we were ahead but all the shifts were againts us. Only match we finished first was coming from behind againts Lipavsky.

Day 2 - We finished the day with 2 wins and 1 loss. We have one match to end Round Robin. We can still end up in 5th place. Hope our bad luck ended yesterday.

Day 3 - Finished the event at 8th place after win in the last match in the Round Robin againts Rooklyn from Australia to advance into King of the castle knock-out stage for 8th to 5th. Our plan was to win 3 matches. We had control in the prestart againts Lipavsky but made a small error in the last 30 sec to give him a small lead that he kept all the way around the course. 

Victory at Austrian Match Race Tour Gmunden - Grade 3

Very tricky sailing conditions on the north part of lake Traunsee made the sailing very hard for 10 teams competing....the Round Robin had to be cut short on the last day....with a 5-0 score we qualified for the Finals againts Max Trippolt.

In the finals the race course was even more tricky than in Round Robin with wind coming and going it was hard to predict the better side of the course.....we managed to control the prestarts but Max and his team did a great job of reading the shifts in the 1st race taking the win...we got one back in race 2 to tie the finals...in the winner wins all 3rd race...we had a perfect start and control the race for a big lead at the finish.
