Raceboard European's -
Report by Ceri Williams
Racing has started at the 2007 Raceboard
Europeans in the
Over 60 competitors, representing 10 countries, have
registered for the championship. Current world champion, Patrik Pollak (SVK1), will be hoping to add the 2007 European
Title to his long list of achievements; but he will be pushed hard by a very
competitive, if not very big, fleet of senior and masters. The majority of men
are competing on "longboards" -where
alongside established brands, Mistral and Fanatic, and the recently introduced Exocet Warp 380, Starboard are competing for the
first time with the Phantom 380.
It is very encouraging for the future growth of the
class that over half of the entry is in the youth division where 5
"hybrid" board brands are represented.
Today the wind is light, but during the 2 days of
registration and practice the wind was very strong, so the competitors can
expect varied and challenging conditions !
Yesterday evening the host club, Societe
Nautique de Bandol ( http://www.sn-bandol.com/) held an opening
ceremony where representatives of the muncipality of Bandol, major sponsors of this regatta, welcomed everyone
to the town and declared the championships open.
Bandol race report -day 1
A difficult first day for both the race committee
and the competitors !
Unstable winds -both in strength and direction - was
the story today: races started and then abandoned, race 2 for the women
shortened - but at least the women were able to show 2 races for their efforts today .
Celine Noyer FRA27
(Mistral - longboard) won both races head of
Frederique Gourdin FRA140 ( Fanatic
- longboard) , with first placed youth girl
Amandine Merour FRA188 (Bic
-hybrid), missing out on second place on a tie break, in third overall .
In the mens division a mix
of new and old designs in the top 3 places :
Nicolas Le Gal FRA115 (Fanatic -longboard)
followed by Pierre Loquet FRA93 (Exocet -
Pacer hybid) and Christophe Boutet
(Exocet Warp 380 - longboard).
Leading master Fabrice Toussaint FRA63 on Fanatic (longboard )
lies 5th overall.
Current world champion, Patrik
Pollak, did not have a good day -failing to finish
the course correctly, he retired after finishing.
In the youth boys fleet the Bic
Hybrid had a good day -top 3 placings-as did the Congar Scalabrin family with Juliano in first place ahead of Florian.
After each days racing the host club, Societe Nautique de Bandol, present "the leaders of the day vest " with winners also receiving a prize from
sponsors JILBO.
