by Sail-World/GJN on 18 Jun 2006
Open Nissan Cup 470 European Championships 470 Internationale http://www.470.org
With racing on the final day of qualification reduced to one race, Stefanie Rothweiler and Vivien Kussatz of Germany added another win to lead by 12 points after six races.

Other top places also remained the same. Second are Therese Torgersson and Vendela Zachrisson of Sweden and third Marina Gallego and Laia Tutzo of Spain.


In the men's competition the French Bonnaud brothers have a six point lead over compatriates, Ronan Dreano and Ronan Floch, with Enrico Fonda and Marco Guerra of Italy one point further back in third place.

The two New Zealand crews, Steven and Philip Keen (Christchurch) and Geoff Woolley and Mark Overington lie in 32nd and 45th places overall in the Mens Fleet.

Report from the official website:

Day 6
The weather was merciful to the sailors of the Open Nissan Cup 470 European Championships in Balatonfüred. At 9 am this morning, however, it seemed that the most desperate dead calm of the world arrived to Füred.

The summer heat started attacking the participants already at 9 am and the surface of the lake looked picture-perfect still.

By 11 am the air appeared to move from Southwest and a kind of acceptable wind started to blow. The organizers waited for one more hour and the boats could take off for the upcoming race.

The competition was especially important for the best Hungarian couple, Sallai Gábor and Olosz Dávid as they had two weaker places after their excellent victory and therefore fell back from heaven (17th place) to the waiting hall of hell (46th place).

After such events the Hungarians performed rather well: the Sallai-Olosz unit got the third place ahead of the Polish Piaseczki-Zieminski and the German Zellmer-Seelig in an exciting competition of the last race. Vígh András and Perjés Bálint got the 7th place in the same race while the D'Albini-Szépfy couple arrived to the finish line 9th. By doing so, the first couple came up nine places (from the 68th to the 59th), the latter came up ten places (from the 71st to the 61st). The Sallai-Olosz crew occupies the 32nd place in the overall rank and if they can keep their form on Sunday they will be able to achieve the objective of the Hungarian Sailing Association: to finish the competition in the first 40% of the 112 participants.

There are foreign winners and losers of the last qualification race of Saturday. The German Bogaczki-Lindemann, leaders after the Friday race, finished 33rd and fell back to the 15th place of the overall rank. The same happened to the Portuguese Marinho-Nunes crew: they were 9th after five races and due to their 12th place on Saturday they eliminated themselves from the finals.

The world rank leader Italian couple, Zandona and Trani excelled on Saturday (came up from the 11th to the 8th place) and are therefore in the finals. The Austrian Schmid-Reichsteader couple, in the meantime, came up from the 11th place to the 10th. It is characteristic to the power relations of the boat class that four of the participants of the Medallion run are French, two are Italians and the rest are Israeli, Russian, Slovenian and Austrian crews.
