Second regatta win: regional regatta Greifensee

9/29/2015

0 Comments

 
I’ve won my second regatta this year, in fact the second in my life. Of course, it was only a regional one and only 19 kids participated. It was great fun anyway, we had a very nice north wind breeze of between 10 and 15 knots and it was good for me to improve my psychological skills (I was the clear favorite) and my ability to control the whole fleet. Not sure, though, that I will need either skill soon againsoon ;-).

My teammates Jonas and Niklas (also my brother) Jonas sailed the 420 for the first time in a regatta after they had trained just a single time. They had great fun, did quite well and signed up for the Swiss Championships in two weeks.

It also seems that I have won the Lake Zürich Championships that consisted of four regional regattas, both overall and as best opti B.

Coming up next is… something I may want to disclose in a few weeks… and a week of training at Lake Garda, my favorite sailing spot. Very much looking forward to it!!!

National regatta Thun

9/14/2015

We returned to Lake Thun over the weekend where we had this year’s Swiss Championship to sail a national optimist regatta. We did not have any wind on Saturday but Sunday morning was fine so we could sail two races in actually pretty good wind. I had a good first race with a good start that I could defend quite well, coming in 15th of 49. The second race went less well; I had a poor start but managed to overtake around 20 boats becoming 20th. I ended up in 31th place overall, my second best ranking ever at a national regatta. I was lucky enough to again be called to the podium, this time as third opti “B” (my age group).

My teammate Jonas continued this season’s excellence performance as 9th overall. Nik came in 14th and my brother Niklas became 40th.

Coming up next is a regional regatta which I will use to get additional practice.
