Tornado Worlds 2010: Speedsailing day
Travemunde is a great venue for the Speedsailing concept being pushed forward by the International Tornado Association (ITA) to promote Multihulls organizing events prepared for spectators and media.
—————
Report sent by Andrew Dowley: “We raced the second round of Speed Sailing tonight in the River Trave with thousands of spectators watching from along the shore. The 15 boats all racing along a short and not very wide course which provided action packed Tornado Sailing with lots of wind shifts and gusts. We also had a commentator on the shore for all the guests who were watching. The ferries were stopped for 30 minutes so the races could be started. The overall winners were Roland and Nahid Gaebler with the Greek team being over the line at the start on the final race.”

I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
