The Sopot Junior, Youth & Masters Festival of Windsurfing has turned out to be a great event with 257 sailors competing in Techno293 and Raceboard classes. The windsurfers main goal being the Raceboard European Championship title and World Championship titles in Techno293, Raceboard Youth & Raceboard Masters fleets.
The whole event brought more than 500 participants to Sopot including the coaches, sailors and their families. This 8 day regatta, which started on the 9th of August has had windsurfers from 16 countries competing in 10 or 11 thrilling races depending on the fleet. The races held in conditions from 5 to 20 knots gave a spectrum of ability and only the truly best all round sailors could maintain top spots during the week's sailing. The regatta finished today with stormy conditions, which really tested the sailors. Some of the youngsters did not start and some had decided to come back after struggling in the first race. The new World Champions for the Techno 293 class are: Helene Noesmoen (France) in U17 girl fleet, Catherine Fogli (Italy) in U15 girl fleet, Martin Olmeta (France) in U15 boys fleet and Pawel Tarnowski (Poland) in U17 boys fleet. The closing ceremony is planned for 6pm. The Worlds were a thrill for all of us and we are already looking forward to next year's events. | |
