I know most of you here can appreciate cool race pix, these where taken last saturday with BIG winds.
This is from a long distance race of approx 25nm on a lake.
It was a downwind start with 20-30kt winds, it stayed downwind all the way to the halfway point where you have to go round an island and go return to the finish line.
99 boats entered, 54 started, 31 finished, and 18(!) broken masts.
I didnt go this years because it is a long drive (2,5h) and it either blows too much or too little every time I went.
