Nine classes finish

Travemunde Week wraps for some of the many sailors

Austrian stars Roman Hagara and Hans Peter Steinacher still have their hands on this years European Championship in the Olympic Tornado class. After six out of ten races at the 117th Travemuende Week the two times Olympic gold medallists (2000 and 2004) lead the French team Revil/Espagnon by a margin of 13 points. Top scorers at the 470 Junior World Championships are Levine Eyal and Amir Yam from Israel. At the mid-week party of Travemünde Week, nine other classes finished racing and celebrated their winners. In the Beneteau 25 class Kai Mares from Kiel, Germany became international German Champion.

The 121 junior crews in the 470 class took the chance and finished three races in three groups after they missed a second start on the opening day. “The conditions were just perfect with a nice breeze of 12 knots”, reported race chairman Brian Schweder. He saw quite fair and relatively calm competitors not pushing it too hard before the starting gun. Schweder: “They made our job easy.”

They scored a bullet on Monday and their first win already showed the target for Eyal/Yam. These guys want to become 470 Junior World Champion this year.
A second, a bullet and another second followed on Tuesday giving them a slight lead by two points over Luke Patience and Twiggy Grube from Great Britain equally on eight points with the Croatian crew Fantela Sime and Igor Marenic.

The wind had a mercy with the sailors on the fifth day of the second largest sailing week of the world. The sea breeze, everyone had hoped to arrive earlier the days, finally filled in at lunch time and brought perfect sailing conditions on all courses.
