Coen and Thijs are working hard to be on top again, they always are in the podium, but I’m talking being champs.
As superior racers no wonder they tried to innovate riding without a Jib!! First ever in the F18 history??? They had margin on discards, but nevertheless a bold move. Will get the guys for some feedback on this.
the concept might be that with too much wind, as they did expected, the jib gets too much drag over the power provided. I’ll ask Thijs how they felt that innovative setup for extreme conditions.
Best of luck to them for Lake Balaton in Hungary for the 2011 F18 Worlds.
Here is Coen explaining why they don´t used the jib + Aussie young guns + Larsen: www.roundtexel.com/en/video/video.asp?sfid=63&fid=flv&eid=15
