Manroland Tornado World Championship 2010 – Day 2
One day perfect, the other built up to be but still 2 races were sailed and
2 bullets for Germans mixed crew Roland and Nahid Gaebler.
No wind this morning at Travemunde so the racing was postponed a few times.
Not good on the water but great off it: during the morning Greek Olympic
sailor Kostas Trigonis helped the sailors and told them about the boat and
gave them tuning tips. He also ran a very successful questions and answers
session and had crowds around their Red Bull Tornado. (Photos on Facebook)
The postponement came down at around 2.45 for a first warning signal at 4pm.
The breeze built as the competitors made their way out to the race area.
Two clean starts off the line for the Tornados. The wind was around 7 knots
to start with but built up to around 15 knots when the competitors were
already back on the shore. The steady breeze gave the spectators some good
fast action to watch, two German TV crews were also out on the water
watching the races and the Tornados did not let them down!
Race one was won by Roland and Nahid again, on the second race they did not
have a good start but managed to tack away into clean air to claim another
victory in race 5.
Another mixed team grabbing the attention are also Germans Christina Loweg
and Florian Loweg. They have been flying and their boat looks very well
trimmed. They are currently sitting in sixth place and claimed a third in
race 5.
