Nacra 17s @Palma 2015: Day 1, Results After 2 Races
Image: Sailing Energy / Jesus Renedo – Tough conditions for the initial day of racing at Palma. Top ten below after 2 races in each group. Aruba Capsize by Renedo at https://twitter.com/jesusrenedo – Despite that the Flying Arubies finished 5 & 9. Several other crews like Budock-Curtis have DNC. More info later when available.
Update: Sarah Newberry now racing with Matthew Whitehead: “Conditions were crazy today in Palma. With the full range of 5-30 kts and steep chop we still had a consistent day on the Nacra course with an 8, 7… Unfortunately the 8 turned out to be an OCS but we’re really happy with this progress. Ready to race tomorrow!”
Bundock on their DNCs :“Unfortunately we are not one of these boats on their side as all these boats still have masts. We don’t!! Broke our mast in the first race today along with 6 other #nacra17’s. Plugged in another one ready for tomorrow.” — Pic by Ian Andrews here

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
