EC Paros, Day two
We had already three races after which Wojtek's is leading after him is Landman Ramses and on 3rd position is Polanowski.
Check out provisional results after three races. Wojtek will protest Jimmy Lever because they had a crash on upwind mark in race #2.
Also check out hot shots from the water.
For the first time in Euro Cup history we are not able to race. The wind in Paros goes up to 50 knots. We're waiting for a lower one. Ferries and fishermen not working today as well.
We've got 34 competitors which joined the event. Also check out pictures from skippers meeting.
EC, Paros. Day one.
Finally there was no races because of too strong wind. "Jimmy with bolls" - this is how guys called Jimmy Lever who want as a first on the water with 9.8 sail and wind up to 45 knots in gusts. Finally rest of competitors also went on the water. Race committee was close to set the course but they've decided that it's too late and the condition are a bit to dangerous.
More shots from Paros.
On Paros wind blows like hell. Only Steve Allen tried with formula ("..it's impossible to race" - he said after) and the rest of guys did freestyle. We've got 30 competitors already registered. Today there's opening ceremony and tomorrow at 10:00 first skippers meeting.
Check out photos from inscription day.
Hello from Paros. Today is the registration day. We've registered already 13 competitors but we also got message that the Polish team arrived (Wojtek, Polanowski and Hubert Mokrzycki) and some guys didn't registered yet so there is a chance to reach 30 competitors.
Today in Paros we've got wind up to 40 knots but it's off-shore so the water is still flat although no formula board on the water - are they afraid?
In the evening we'll put some photos and provisional competitors list.
Today we had another great day in Golden Beach / Paros.
Hello from heaven - Paros, Greece. Tomorrow starts the registrations to the another EuroCup event. We expect about 30-40 men competitors. A few of them are all ready here and preparing for the event. Forecasts for next two days are pretty well - up to 30 knots.
Check out the photos from today and the current entry list.
During the event hot news will be published on www.euro-cup.org by Matthias via sms and in the end of every day we'll publish results, photos and some summery of the day on www.formulawindsurfing.org. The reason of all this is a fact that we don't have internet connection on the beach here in Paros.
