A-Class 2016 Polish Nats: Tymek Bendyk Champ
All photos Klub Żeglarski UKS Navigo – Official Report (polish) & more pics at katamaran.sopot.pl/mp16.htm – Tymek Bendyk continues his performance drive , which launched off finally at Garda against Mischa earlier this season. Sailing the new Exploder D3 which was a definitive step up from the Polish yard as seen at that same event and later at Medemblik Worlds.
2017 Worlds will be held at Sopot , where this weekend’s regatta took place. Tymek Bendyk won over Jacek Noetzel & British visitor Chris Rashley and 4th place for Jaub Surowiec , all riding Exploder D3 and Bryt Sails, Brewin, North & Bryt Sails respectively.
In 5th place and still in floating mode Marcin Badzio with two bullets included. Still waiting for someone to see the light and provide him a flying A. Remember my emphasis on this for next Worlds. Tymek, Marcin & Jakub Surowiec along Jacek Noetlzel, the sailor who led the way for locals to international competition back at Europeans 2013 , at Barcelona.

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
