Open Danish Nationals 2012

We had the "Open Danish Nationals" in the first weekend of September in Aarhus, just south of the 2011 worlds venue, at the "Aarhus sailing week".
Saturday we had 5 races in 10 to 15 knots of wind, and Thilo Keller of Germany was the fastest man on the race course, ending the day with a 4 point lead on he's Arrow over Thomas Pasch on a Nikita and Jørgen Skov Hansen on a DNA.
Sunday we had another 5 races in 15 to 20 knots, gusting up till the class limit.
Thomas Paasch did win the day (still sailing with the oldschool non-bendy Fiberfoam mast), but not enough to beat Thilo in the overall standings. Jørgen Skov Hansen did put in a series of second places, but droped out of the battel for podium, as one of he's daggerboards broke on he's DNA, keeping him from participating in the last 2 races.
Top 3:
1. Thilo Keller, GER, Arrow, Fiberfoam, Landenberger Membran.
2. Thomas Paasch, DEN, Nikita, Fiberfoam, Ashby
3. Guido Schulte, GER, DNA, Saarberg, Hammer
