Tornado Worlds 2010: Travemunde, July 23–30

By Patricia Kirschner “The Lubeck Bay is not only welcoming the 121st edition of the Travemunder Week but also the most exciting of all the cats: The Tornado class is hosting there its 2010 World Championship.
50 Tornados will take to the waters to show the spectators, media and sponsors what action and fun is all about. It will be a great show to all while the crews battle for the 2010 World Champion title.
Young and mixed crews will be competing side by side with experienced Olympic, World and European Champions the likes of Germans Roland Gaebler and the Sachs brothers, and Greek Iordanis Paschalidis and Trigonis Konstantinos.
The first day of racing is scheduled to Sunday 25th July. A few teams went off sailing today as the day started off with a light breeze that built in the afternoon but most have been setting their boats up and going through the measurement process.

The Tornados will also be providing lots of action on Saturday 24th July and Sunday 25th July, after the official races, at the Sailing Arena Trave. Right at the mouth of River Trave, meters away from the shore and in sight of thousands of spectators, short and fast races will be sailed and broadcasted lively by commentators. That is great Tornado sailing being made easy and available to watch for all.”
