Thursday: Slowly we‘re getting used to this morning lull. Again
Neusiedlersee lays as smooth as glass in front of us. So this day
begins as relaxed as the other ones. But in the afternoon there is
wind and we start. On the lake the wind always blows with middle
forces, plus incalculable and sometimes really violent gusts.
Friday: Our last day of this years championship. Today everything
shall be fine – concerning the wind. Already at 10 a.m. there‘s lots
of wind, at eleven the starting shot is given. Those who love strong
wind get one‘s money‘s worth today.The last two regattas of this
Euro are sailed under 5-6 Bft. Afternoon: Dismantling the ships
while the sun is burning. Presentation ceremony at “Sundowner”
marks the official end of this Euro, afterwards the party rocks like
everytime with Topcat.

And last but not least: Thanks to Sailing Club Podersdorf
North. You were great hosts and with your untiring work you
made for sure that we had a wonderful time with you. Organizing
this Euro it‘s your merit to get maximum points!
Really the last: Congratulations to the Euro-Champions!
You know: “…strong fights pay, the best is enthroned on the step!”
And be honest: Who doesn‘t dream about deleting a “1”?
