Sailing World Cup Miami

/ leopold66 / Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

After two weeks in Miami, we are back in Europe now. The event did not go as planned … we arrived late and had just one day of training with the charter boat before racing and so the problems started…

On the first day of racing our spinnaker halyard broke, on the second day we had some trouble with the centreboard system and then the mastfoot-pin broke…

Overall we planned things too tight and had not enough time to get used to the boat and give it a little overhaul.

Lesson learned!!!!

Even though we finished the Worldcup just in 35th we had a good time in the States and want to say THANK YOU!!!! to everyone who made this possible and always supports us on our journey to the 2020 Olympic Summer Games.

Thank You to Flir Systems, Raymarine, HS Sprenger, Marinepool, Olimpic Sails, Mallorca Clothing Company, Glogglz, Alpha Ropes, Bessey Industrial Tools and Tactical Sailing for the financial support and the supplies.

Thank You to our training partners Afrodite and Lobke and huge congrats to our other training mates Jordi and Nico for the victory!!!

The most important supporter here was Katrin, who hosted us and helped us wherever possible and gave us some great nutrition advice. Check out what she can do for you on http://katrinmehler.com/

Imperia Winterregatta

Yesterday we finished the World Sailing Ranking Event in Imperia (Imperia Winter Regatta) in 7th Place in the 470 Men fleet.

In the event were 236 sailors from 8 nations in the classes 470 and 420 participating. Everything was very well organized and the race committee did a great job. The weather played along as well, except for the last day on which sailing was due to the danger of giant waves impossible.

This week we are heading to Palamos for the international Christmasrace.

DSCF3891Yesterday we finished our last northern European regatta of the season, the German NRW- Championships 2018 for 470s and OKs. We won the championship with the places (4,) 1, 1, 3, 1 and are happy to finish the German season with a victory.

Overall in the two classes, there were 80 competitors from GER, BEL, NED, GBR competing in this last regatta and we had a great time with fantastic conditions (7-18kts, 26°C) and a good and well-organized race committee.

Full results of both classes are available here.

We will now have a two-week break in Italy to get some rest. After that, we are stoked to get back to business and train a few days in Germany until we hopefully come back stronger for the Imperia Winter Regatta (ITA) and the Palamos Christmas Race (ESP) in December.

We want to say thank you to everyone who supported us this year!

Wir beendeten das Event auf Gesamtplatz 26 und Platz1 in der Wertung U17. Der 26. Gesamtplatz ist trotz eines Rennens, dass wir nicht beenden konnten, nicht das, was wir erwartet haben, aber ein 8., 6., und 10. Platz in der Finalserie machten es erträglich. Wir wissen woran wir arbeiten müssen und werden daran arbeiten und stärker zurückkommen. Unsere nächsten Events sind der Seglerhauspreis auf dem Heimrevier in Berlin und die Internationale Deutsche Meisterschaft.

Bis Bald

Training Dervio

/ leopold66 / Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

Die letzten 12 Tage haben wir mit dem Team Italien in Dervio trainiert, um optimal auf die nahende Weltmeisterschaft vorbereitet zu sein. Die Bedingungen, das Training und die Trainingspartner waren super und wir sind zuversichtlich.

Wir werden nun noch einige Tage auf dem WM Revier in Rom trainieren und dort vor der WM an der Italienischen Meisterschaft teilnehmen.
