F18 @Kiel Week 2015: Day 1, Helge & Christian Sach Lead
Image: Kiewl Week Media, Sach-Sach overall leaders after 2 races. – Yesterday I was consulted on the favorites for Kiel Week and next 2015 F18 Worlds to be held at the same venue in a few days. The contenders for Kiel I sent were those who performed today: Sach-Sach (1,2 – Infusion) and Gosche-Pegel (7,4 – Phantom) and Paschalidids-Dyrssen (dnc-1 – C2).
These crews above along Zeekant-Begemann, Larsen-van West , Easton-Burd, Mitch Booth , Mischa Heemskerk and the Youths teams from USA & France : Reiss-Whitehead & Robert-Riwan complete the contenders list for incoming Worlds on July 11st. Entry List for the Worlds available at 18worlds.kyc.de/index.php/entry/entry-list/
Update: Glenn Ashby will be back to set things straight! as last year racing with Brett Goodall they had a hull issue that left them out of the title race, Goodall Design news : at goodalldesign.com.au/Catamaran/index.php/about-us/news/95-c2-teams-set-to-make-a-spalsh
Light winds for the two races, but the stream was interesting to follows as we have lots of 5-6knots races in the Class, Pity not having the new F18 sailing in these conditions, Still waiting for pics to post info on the project.
