Svjetsko prvenstvo RC44: Rovinj, 3. - 7. listopada
RC44 World Championship: Rovinj, 3 - 7 October
Rovinj - mjesto konačne odluke
Rovinj - place of final decision
Nakon izvanredne prošlogodišnje organizacije i
gostoljubivosti, prema ocjeni sudionika i vodstva RC44
Toura, jedne od regata svjetske atrakcije - RC44 kupa,
jedriličarski bolidi i njihove vrhunske posade ponovno
se vraćaju u Rovinj. Ove godine bit će to završna
utrka prvenstva i ujedno utrka za svjetskoga prvaka
klase RC44. Vrhunski jedriličarski događaj, ravan
Kupu Amerike, ili možda čak i atraktivniji jer ovdje
je na regatnom polju dvadesetak vrhunskih svjetskih
jedriličara koji voze super brze i pokretljive 14-metarske
jedrilice kojima je dovoljan i lagani povjetarac da ih
pokrene u vožnju vrhunskog doživljaja - za posadu i
promatrače.
Vrhunska „one design“ jurilica
Jedrilice RC44 dizajnirao je četverostruki pobjednik
Kupa Amerike Russell Coutts, stvorivši laganu, relativno
jednostavnu i super brzu jedrilicu - san svakoga
jedriličara. Usporedba s formulom 1 - zamislite da
se vozite u automobilu koji je dizajnirao Michael
Schumacher. To je to. „One design“ jedrilice niskog
deplasmana i visokih trkačkih osobina. Kompletna
je jedrilica, od kobilice do vrha glavnoga jarbola,
napravljena od karbonskih vlakana što joj daje lakoću
i istodobnu čvrstoću, pa se ovaj jedriličarski bolid vrlo
dobro ponaša i na laganom povjetarcu baš kao i na
snažnom vjetru s refulima.
Cijela dizajnirana flota našla je svoje vlasnike među
svjetskom gospodarskom elitom, a na svakom brodu
uz vlasnika sudjeluje, kao skiper u match race jedrenju
ili kao taktičar u flotnom jedrenju, i po jedan vrhunski
svjetski jedriličar sa svojom posadom.
After the last year’s hosting of the RC44 Cup, of one of
the world famous regattas, was evaluated as fantastic
by the participants and RC44 Tour leadership, the
racing sailing boats and their first-rate crews return to
Rovinj once again. This year, this will be the final race
of the championship and also the race for the world
champion in RC44 class. The top-grade sailing event,
equal to the America’s Cup, or even more attractive
because at this regatta field, there will be about twenty
first-rate world sailors running the super fast and easily
maneuverable 14-meter long sailing boats, which only
take a light breeze to move them and provide for a
fantastically exciting ride - both for the crew and for
the observes.
Top-End One Design Racing Boat
RC44 sailing boats were designed by the four-time
America’s Cup winner Russell Coutts, creating an
extremely light, relatively simple and super fast sailing
boat - every sailor’s dream. In comparison with Formula
1 - imagine driving in a car designed by Michael
Schumaher. That is it. One-design light displacement
sailing boat with high racing performances. The entire
sailing boat, from the keel to the top of the main mast,
is made of carbon fibre, which makes her light and
strong at the same time, so this racing sailing boat
performs exceptionally both in the light breeze and
strong gusts of wind.
The entire designed fleet has found owners among the
world economic elite, while besides the owner, each
boat carries one top-grade world sailor, either as a
skipper in match race sailing or as a tactician in fleet
racing, with their crew.
