cheers,Three races today, which did not change the top-3:
In persuit is the Van Aanholt family: place 4-6! The Curcacao equipe is performing exellent in these Italian waters: 5 sailors in the top-14.
- Jonathan Martinetti
- David Mendelblatt
- Connor Blouin
Looks like some aggressive sailing and/or RC issues? The OCSs and Black Flag toss-outs are staggering. Anyone know why Bill Brangiforte retired today?
I am working 70 hours a week and was not able to make it.
Results after three days of racing have been posted on the Dutch site. But there appear to be some errors in the ranking. For instance, Ard van Aanholt is listed in 37th place, but should be in third place, I think, with 38 points.
Top five after nine races (preliminary!):
Jonathan Martinetti: 20 pts
David Mendelblatt: 25
Ard van Aanholt 38
Just van Aanholt 40
Conner Blouin 49
The young guys are taking over, but (not so young) Mendelblatt could still win it all...

I have seen a few pictures of the fleet launching and returning but no actual racing pics. Last yr there were tons of pics after each race. Does anyone know if someone is taking some pics which will be posted?
Looked like the boards were too thick. LP announced a new mfr a while back. Believe the boards were to be made of glass instead of foam. Apparently the new mfr does not own a calipers. Chris

The new manufacturer is GRP foils (aka Infused Foils). Apparently, they will make both rudders and boards for our Sunfishes; each in two flavors:

and

This is all quite new, and start-up problems clearly need to be addressed....
That web page is so "under construction" they don't even have the lights installed yet..., so it's really hard to see muchdoes anyone have any ideas about the difference between the "standard" and "elite" versions?
Anyone have a link to some race course pictures from the world's? I only see a few beach launch pictures.
