Egger and Stahl (GER) win Tornado Torbole Trophy

by PR on 1 Oct 2007 The German Patrick Egger (crew Dominic Stahl) is the winner of 2007 Tornado Torbole Trophy. Second the Swiss Nowak-Rusterholz, third the Austrian Salzmann (Dietmar and Cornelia).

The silver medalists at the Italian championship, the Togni brothers, Gianmarco and Filippo, because of the bad weather and the bad feeling of Gianmarco (some fever) have remained ashore today. The other 22 boats began their three races this morning at 8am.

The German Egger won the first race, he was second in the second and in the third races. With these results they could win the trophy. The Swiss Matthias Nowak and Martin Rusterholz finished second and the Austrian Dietmar and Cornelia Salzmann were third.

The Italians, today without the Togni brothers, had quite satisfying results if we consider that the 'old' champion of the 80s, Amedeo Paroldo, was able to be 15th overall together with the crew Matteo Ferraglia, young promising sailor for the class. The skipper from Circolo Nautico Riccione Mirco Mazzini, together with the crew Andrea Ciavatta, finished 17th.

Today's races have had light Northern wind, Pelèr (from 6 to 10 knots). There was also some raining. Last race finished at 12.00. Then prize giving.
