Torbole Trophy and German Open 2014 - These were magnificent sailing days with best winds at the German Open for the Tornado catamarans in Torbole on the Lake Garda. The famous Ora wind was blowing on the three days of the German Championship with 3-5 Bft. and provided fantastic sailing conditions.
The 17 teams from four nations had pure sailing fun with their ultra-fast boats. But there were also tactically very challenging races, which remained exciting until the end.
For our team, everything went perfectly. With the individual results one-two-one-one-one-two-one-four-one we could win all the series of the Championship at the end. First we won the open class, the legendary Torbole Trophy and then also the mixed ranking.
Last year on the final day of the German Championship we broke our mast and lost the title. This year it was a great feeling that it was running smoothly from the beginning until the end of the regatta.
Even though we drove a very consistent series with many race wins, it was still very open and close racing. There were five teams from Switzerland and Germany, who really had a tough match. The lead changed several times within a race. Often the tactics before the finish line decided who will win the race. For sure it was one of the best sail racing we had this year.
By winning the German Open, the sailing season comes to the end for us in Europe. Soon we will pack the container for the Tornado World Championships (29.12.2014-03.01.2015) in Perth - Australia.
