Europeans 2014 @Bordeaux: Day 3 - Ashby leads in Perfect Conditions
All Images Courtesy of Paula Kopylowicz / Exploder.info - Best Day of the 2014 Europeans at Cercle Voile Bordeaux. +15-17knots steady breeze.
Glenn Ashby scored 1,1 to lead by 5 over Jason Waterhouse (3,3) and Sandro Caviezel (4,6).
Jason and Sandro getting in the Elite of the usual suspects in the A-Class , leaving Andrew Landenberger in 4th, Barker 5th place.
Barker was 18th overall after 4 races in light winds and now holds a top 5th overall, gaining 13 spots in one day.
Foiling conditions downwind provided by a good stable breeze. The racing was delayed as on Monday/ Tuesday a late thermal covered the Lake just after each final race.
Good decision on the organization, as in the morning there were 4-5knots leading to the scheduled 14hs starting mark.
Light wind specialist Matthias Dietz & Georg Reutter lost some spots in the breeze, they were 4th / 3rd overall yesterday. We had a chat with both and their attitude towards the flying boats was quite practical , with them accepting the fact they have handicap on the new foil designs on windy days.
Matthias is learning to fly and Georg is comfortable with his Nikita as at home he sails in a light wind scenario.
Two great sailors showing younger and newcomers what the A-Class is all about.
In the Silver fleet Philippe Presti won both races, and Abdon Ibañez 2 & 2.
2013 French Champ and Europeans event coordinator, Hervé Ledue post a 9 & 6th to grab the lead in the Silver fleet.
Tomorrow is Reserve / Rest day, and 8-10knots are expected.
Lake Hourtin has now provided a nice mix of sailing conditions to challenge foilers and light winds specialists alike.
