Dear Presidents,

Video by Circolo Vela Arco | Thilo Keller won the 2015 Spring European at Circolo Vela Arco. The report I have is Thilo was not on foiling mode on his Arrow. 

Mischa Heemskerk (Dna) who won 3 races yesterday flying good downind,  had some issues today with his boat and couldn't´t start racing.  Jacek Noetzel finished 2nd (Exploder) and Sergio Vela 3rd (Scheurer G7)

Wind picked up early at Lake Garda on Monday and the fleet went out to recover from a first day with calm winds and only 1 race completed.

Wind conditions were 17-20knots and Mischa Heemskerk won the three races held today. Jacek Noetzel scored 2,3,2 for an overall lead, with Thilo Keller in 3rd place (9,2,3 for the day). Mischa is th overall on a 20th in the first race to be discarded and 3 perfect scores.

The report I have is Mischa dominated the downwind legs in full foiling mode.

Friday & Saturday saw high winds & chop conditions at Garda. The Arg crew present at the event reported he felt at home with Garda's chop, sailing a new A-Cat with latest flying tech. It was not easy though to adapt to full flight mode but he grabbed the pace of non stop downwind flying when wind decreased to 15-16knots on Saturday after some 20knots of previous sessions. He also reported Mischa Heemskerk foiling upwind.

In contrast Sunday saw little wind and only one race was completed with Thilo Keller in first place. Later the fleet was towed in to the Club.

Below official US Class Association clarification statement on their intention to apply Rule changes to local US Regattas, by Bailey White, USACA President.
