Soling European Championship - Balazs leads |
TORBOLE, ITALY-(4-9-2003) After a very cloudy morning the race got under way in a light Ora and again the right side was much better. Usually you have to go left in the starting winds but was is usual in these days?
Balazs lead the fleet and Haist, Schneeberger and nearly the whole austrian fleet following. Koch and Wossala came from the left side and were packed about 15th in the fleet.
Balazs extended his lead and the others had a kind of small war, because seven boats were very close together!
The wind increased a little bit and after three sausages Balazs got the b! ullit in front of Schneeberger and Haist. Koch made his way through the fleet to 5th and Wossala 7th.
After a short delay race 5 was started in the best wind of the week: about 4-5 bft and again the right side was better. Koch, Cunho and Balazs went slowly away from the fleet, followed by Haist, Schneeberger and the other austrians. Wossala was packed between. The wind was getting a bit stronger. Koch and Balazs extended their lead with impressive speed and boathandling and so Koch got the shot 200 meters in front of Balazs, again 200 meters in font of Cunho and Schneeberger. Haist and Wossala following next places.
Balazs leads also in total. Haist with very good light wind results second and Koch in third position.
After the race we got a very good buffet of Trentino specialities for the daily prize-giving.
Today we have wonderfull weather and are hoping for the two last races in a good breeze!
