F18 Europeans 2022, Day 4: Burvill-Puttman dominate
Results just in. Fourth Day of the 2022 F18 Europeans saw more wind than previous days, 18-20knots and the Australians Brett Burvill & Max Puttman put literally pedal to the metal racing their own built Windrush Edge / Nxt Gen Sails to dominate the Gold fleet at Garda scoring 1,1,1 & 2nd.
Impressive run to climb to first overall, one day remaining.
Ravi Parent & Severin Gramm (Nacra Evo) had a good day staying top 5 results to tie in points with the Aussies but the 5 bullets of Brett & Max are an asset which can decide the title.
Patrik Demesmaker & Gilles Tas (Goodall Akurra) also with an excellent day scoring 2,6,2 & 1.
Norregaard-Jarvinen did not went to the water today, and Krevisky-Benitez placed a 4th and 3 DNF on a mast down due to a loose shackle….
Booth-Booth and Gonzalez Smith-Heuser were not able to keep top 5 results and podium chances are gone surely.
The top 3 crews way ahead of the rest now, and anything can happen tomorrow. Excellent and super competitive Europeans as predicted, can’t be better than this.
Later table with platforms, below prov Results after 11 Races. 1 Day left , one discard only for Final races if two more completed.
