2017 Tornado Europeans – Day 3

Day 3 - 2017 Tornado Europeans International Tornado Class Association
2017 Tornado Europeans – After the thunderstorm and a lot of rain last night a clear sky and a wind of maximum 13 knots made the ideal conditions to complete another two races back to back. The wind was very shifty, ranging from 160 to 200 degrees. The race comittee did an amazing job coping with these changes, considering that the depth of the lake is around 200 meters!

It was even better for the Hellenic Police team! Mavros and Tagaropoulos dominated again today, finishing first in both races, leading now with six points difference for the second one, SUI 1.

The Steiner brothers, Marcel and Joerg, SUI 1 and Martin Rusterholz – Michael Gloor, SUI 228 complete the top three places after scoring a second and a third each.



A damage on the spinlock for Ingo Gebhard and Benedikt Wachsmann made them retire from the second race of the day, droping them in the fourth place overall.

Jürgen and Sarah Jentsch are still leading the Mixed division. The fight will be tight tomorrow, the last day of the championship for this title as the CZE, Pavlis and Pavlisova are just five points behind the first and only one point in front of the Salzmanns.

Andrea Ciavatta, crew of the ITA 46 boat mentioned: ” It is nice to sail in my country as we are a bit more familiar with the condition and closer to our home. Today though the race was hard because of the shifts that made us score a 12th and an eighth place. Hoping for some better results tomorrow.”



Allan Gamble saying: ”In the fifth race we had a perfect start which is essential for sailing on lake Como so we were third for most of the race but Martin got us on the second downwind. Obviously we are very pleased with our speed but we should keep up with the wind better. The sixth race…. hero to zero in 3.5sec which is how much too early we were for the start. OCS! Oops! Apologies to all those boats that we created catastrophy including Nick and Alex. From SML (Stone Motherless Last) we chased the fleet and peeked up three boats per lap trying very hard but it was very difficult as everybody has good speed and the wind conditions are tricky. Lake Como lives up to every expectation with challenging sailing conditions!”
