12:35 | If you follow the action on the DVD trailer you may not recognise the sailors . Sat/Sun was also a national competition -some will stay to join the international events this week.
To follow very soon -trailer of Opening Ceremony.
12:29 | Today Starboard boss, Svein Rasmussen, arrived -only for a quick visit ; but he was determined to visit and see for himself what a great organisation is here. Such a busy schedule – but he can find time to support the class he helped to found
12:19 | As you can see a smaller total entry than in the past , but a very strong fleet fleet-many possibilities for World Champion 2006!
In the mens fleet 21 countries from 5 continents are represented. It is good, of course, to see so many asian countries here – Japan,Korea,Malaysia,Singapore ,Thailand . We must enourage development of FW in these countries. Naturally , the host country has the largest entry (12) – but from Europe we have 11 from FRA and 9 from POL (so for sure we will make sure the flag is the correct way up !)
Registration is over –it looks promising for tomorrow ; i will be on line to give you the action as it happens.
Finally 64 men and 5 women registered for the event,,,
Check the list…
