F18 Kiel Week 2020: Bader & Bjornholt dominate
Total control for Cedric Bader & Nicolaj Bjornholt for the 2020 Kiel Week edition within the Formula 18 Class. Ten bullets out of 12 races on board the new Nacra Evo F18. Cedric already won at Rias Baixas Raid Early this year.
Second place overall for Robert Schutz & Rea Kuhl and third place for Mikko & Kirsikka Raisanen (pictured in shot above) sailing an Edge / 1D platform.
The new Evo seems well sorted already, not a surprise using the super proven Infusion rig, same daggers plus an updated hull / rudders. 2021 Worlds will be a blast on the accumulated lost sailing and racing hours.
The Sach brothers had a DNF and several DNCs later not showing at the start line again.
