Great reports about the F16 Europeans on Report from Celine Van Dooren and Report from the Winner, Tom Phipps
Check catsailingnews.com. I tried to send a short daily report there.
Great French report
Final report should be on catsailingnews.com in the coming days, covering the atmosphere of the entire event.
In short a superb event in a great location.
The surroundings are stunning, temperatures and winds great. throughout the event the wind built from sitting to single trapeze to double trapeze and full cunningham. Great conditions to crown the Euro champions.
Interest and level increased extremely compared to last year or 2 years ago. Between 5 to 10 Olympic campaigning teams definately pumped up the level.
42 boats of different brands showing the formula concept is truly working also for the F16 class.
