A-Class, Reaching 25knots @Punta del Este 2018
Nice sequence sent by Ian Rodger from Punta del Este. Ian is sailing the Dna F1 vs Mehl on former Brewin’s D3.
Punta del Este is a great place to sail. One of the first F18 we made was delivery nearby in Punta Ballena, (Solanas beach). In the future we might held some South American or international event.
Meanwhile the Arg A-Cat crews are going for it reaching 25knots in yesterday’s session. Ian on the F1 could maintain pace with the D# when is rather flat, more waves and the Exploders seem to have an edge.
Something DNA has acknowledge from Sopot , as it is vox populi they are working on new foils.
Still the F1s, with foils from 2014 are fast as the latest D3 as seen in sequence above.
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
