Spain Championship Formula Windsurfing: Mallorca - Puerto de Pollensa
Angel chronic Ania.
THURSDAY.
Bad prediction, however early in the afternoon breeze rises and brokers, anxious, thrown into the water. The lightest plan, measure and measure the intensity of the wind, until they resigned admit you can not make any manga.
FRIDAY.
More of the same, however, mid-afternoon, there seems to be 10 knots at the end of the bay, so alert and fleet heads to the race course, just stay on land, Miguel Martinho (Portuguese), Eric (canary) and me. floating after twenty minutes, it seems that you can see in the distance a sail planning, Eric resigned and is heading to the race course, without planning. Michael remains in doubt, but the possibility of an exit, riding, sale, and plans to reach the first exit left .....
We see the exit and after a few minutes is canceled, the wind has dropped. At that time, the station is heard by the judge asking race boats to go ashore to brokers .... no wind or to return. In principle come in pairs, each zodizac, then three and finally three in the zodiac and three more in tow, it seemed that they planned to pick up before the entire fleet, the sky opens and drops a storm water im -hustling. All return without problems. A TEN TO THE ORGANIZATION
SATURDAY.
Day waited for the announcement of up to 30 knots.
At the end was not much, but it was windy and there were three sleeves. Two of Miguel Martinho won and the other Fernando Martinez del Cerro. Behind Philippe Vigneron and Kim Lithgoe.
In females, Maria Andres stands and Youth, Paul Ania climbs to 15 th position overall.
This day, the protest committee made ¿? against two riders left the buoy 3, silly mistake you pay with a DSQ.
SUNDAY.
Very cloudy and drizzling dawn, which suggests, as we go into the race, there will be no tests. ERROR, the rush to get set up, say there is 16-20 knots out and will start (10.30 h)
Are three sets. the 1 st and 3 rd for Miguel, the 2nd to Fernando. From earth, we doubt who has won each, will almost in parallel. This day highlights Alberto Cano (Majorcan) with two others.
CURIOSITIES.
He won the race Miguel Martinho (Neilpryde-STARBOARD), but Spain is champion Fernando Martinez del Cerro (SEVERNE-STARBOARD).
Of note, this advantage no longer exists between Michael and the rest in all the rounds had hit in front or behind Fernando. Behind them, there is always a group of "classical" Philipppe, Kim, Rossello, Augusto, Alberto, Alex Buchau, which this year added the Canaries, were coming to train a lot, so yes, always above 18 knots . And Ivan Shepherd, aclimantandose to Formula.
After this group, another more numerous, in which a juvenile is strained. Then the "large group".
Among the top 12 of the race,
CANDLES. - 4 Neil Pryde (1 º -6 º -7 º and 9 º) 3 SEVERNE (2 ° -5 ° and 11 °) 3 GUN (3 ° -4 ° and 12 °), a North, 10 ° and Gaastra, 8
Only three candles no "pure" RACE, two juvenile GTX Burriana and Elena Boye Loft
TABLES. - 10 starboard, an F2 (8 °) and a Fanatic (10 º)
FINS, few, most would say that only 3 or four in number, the rest DYNAFOIL and DEBOICHET.
Booms. - All carbon, with the exception of aluminum (a juvenile wing 8.5), 80% HP, 12% and 8% NP Gulftech (estimated by eye)
The most used sail in size, 11 m (10.7 to NP), a 12 the first day. Juveniles with 9.8 and 8.5. On Sunday, some were already more than 8.5.
The last race on Sunday, I think, came to the 22-24 knots at the windward buoy, it looked foam, let the wave was big. According to the interior, two meters, according to the coast, a yard or little more.
BAD LUCK.
Jaime Andres, broke a pole racing. Some more "exploded" on land the 2nd day heat. Saturday and Sunday, did a cold from hell, at least not feared by the masts.
Marina Alabau, before the Olympics, and Steffi fell ill two days that were racing.
Chalo Vernia, was injured the wrist in the first round and although he tried again on Sunday, could not hold a sleeve, sorry, we were not seeing in the new wing TUSHINGAM action.
"PETRI" a candle broke out, he hit another table.
