Lanzarote 2021: Pacheco & Trittel 1st & Finland secures ticket to Tokyo
The Spanish Olympic Nacra 17 team won the 2021 Lanzarote Regatta demonstrating solid races in every wind condition. Commanding win for Tara Pacheco & Florian Trittel, 5 bullets, plenty of top 3 results with 16 races completed and a 15pts gap agasint the German Top Guns Paul Kohlhoof & Alicia Stuhlemmer, who finished second overall. Third for the French crew who left Besson & Riou out the Games, Quentin Delapierre & Manon Audinet
The highlight of this regatta was the European slot qualy. Finish crew Sinem Kurtbay & Janne Jarvinen had a super consistent regatta securing their Tokyo Nacra 17 Class participation. Great performance under such defining pressure.
Danny Paschalidis & Myrto Papadopoulo tried their best but it was not enough. The former Olympic sailor and Tornado – F18 World Champ had a late shot to the Nacra 17 clearly seen on their floating vs foiling mode.
The Nacra 17 Class will have a demanding competitive fleet, I don’t even dare to define any favorites yet.
