This Year the Europe Cup Regatta go to the North part of Lake Velence and organised on the area of the Sukoró harbour and beach. This is the first step for the Naviga WC 2009
As far as I can remember on the Adriatic Sea, the more north one goes the less wind one can find in the winter season. I have been to Slovenia in training camps before. If the wind was strong when it was blowing but usually it was not. In addition, the city sponsors the competition if it is organized inside the harbor.
It happened for the first time on my third Croatian IOM tour, which a wind blew that fitted for my little boat and my rough soul; sure, we needed to soak for a whole day, to have this. This time Gyula did not join me.
I could not forget the incredible effect of competition in Dubrovnik last November and I was seeking the opportunity when I can retry racing in the equitable strong Croatian field.
What? The IOM (International One Meter) the world’s most popular radio controlled sailing class. Its length as its name shows is one meter; its load line is 42 cm, its weight 4 kg. There is 15 000 boats registered on the world.
Aside from the non-official, match race in Siófok, this was the first inland race this year. The forecast predicted a great enough front, what winded on Sunday with some stronger blows.
Why is the radio controlled sailing is cool? It does not cause muscle strain; you don’t get wet; a little piece of ice free surface is enough, but what is the most important, these boats are go well in a small whiff as well. That is what happened on Sunday in Siófok, on the radio-controlled boat’s match race.
