F18 Worlds 2012 @Long Beach: Bundock confirmed

Past week I contacted Darren Bundock to see if he was going to defend his title with Jeroen at LA.
He has a busy schedule with the AC45s circuit but he confirmed attendance, Carolijn also will be there.
Next AC45 event will be held at San Francisco August 21, perfect timming for him and maybe some others ACup crews to participate. I would like to see Spithill, Barker, Hutchinson, Draper, Peryon!, Guichard, Outteridge and the rest racing this Worlds.
We might have then a rematch between Backes (already registered with Vandame), Bundy and Styles from the famous Erquy 2010 last day? This is going to be an interesting event, the first being held in America for the F18.

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
