Report below sent by Marco Radman winner of the Classic Fleet racing a Scheuer & Oxxo DS mainsail.
Bob Baier won Foilers on board a D3 / Bryt. The crossover within the F18 & A Class in Italy is similar to what we have in Arg, years of pushing for all that can to sail both Classes, and happy to see many racing them like Marco, Gianni and Bob. Lambi has migrated now only A, but we will get him back in the F too.

Worlds coming soon at Toulon. Next year A-Cat Worlds will be held in Punta Ala, schedule your calendar for that venue and Costa Brava, Spain, for the F18 one.
