Alinghi 5 1st sail Valencia
As always, we can say anything against both teams delaying the Cup, the legal s… etc, however at least right now Alinghi is ready to race, CIC sails or not (although they have their quote of high bs too against BOR), Alinghi 5 is the finest catamaran ever built. BOR 90 is a fine super beast too, and the wing is impressive, but the swiss concept is more extreme, they just scaled up our F18/Tornados/F16s..
Who will win? tough call, I like BOR better as a team and how they adapted the Tri, but as a cat sailor Alinghi 5 is my favorite.
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
