Yngling Open Springtime Championship - Intense Day 2

by Elena Giolai on 4 May 2012
Yngling Open Springtime Championship 2012 - Day 2 Elena Giolai/Fraglia Vela Riva
Yngling Open Springtime Championship 2012 second day was a beautiful day on Trentino Garda with sunshine and steady southerly winds. Three races were completed bringing to a total of five out of the eight scheduled for this edition.

The thirty crews, guests of Fraglia Vela Riva, had an intense afternoon and as the level of competition in this Championship heats up, there is all to play for for a place on the podium.

Despite attacks from the Dutch crew of Jamin-Smolders-Berens (third last year in the same event), Austrians Mayr-Knittel-Spaengler hold on to the lead (1-9-3 today's partials), even if its only by a single point. After today's first two races the Dutch crew, helmed by Jamin Maarten (1-9 the first partials), were able to overtake but even with today's excellent performance with a fifth and two firsts, they were still behind on points after throwing out the worst result. AUT 293 of Rudi Mayr leads with seven points compared with eight for Jamin who took advantage of today's strong winds, which reached 20 knots, to win their last two races. The settled weather forecast until Saturday should guarantee steady winds which would favour Maarten, or will Rudi Mayr be able to stave off the attack and hold on to the lead? Another possibility is that the other Austrian crew AUT 82 of Diem-Hafner-Gebhard could make a move. They are currently in third place, three points behind the Dutch. It is definitely too soon to predict the outcome of the Championship.

There was a good performance yesterday from the Swiss crew helmed by Thomas Kristiansen taking second place in the second regatta. They are sixth overall.

Today another day of thrilling regattas on wind-generous Trentino Garda!
