27th of August, today the last day, who will be the new World Champion Tempest 2010?

Race 7, the weather is very bad it's raining cat and dogs, wind between 15 and 20 knots

that's not to bad.

The first boat round mark one, France 1182 they held this position and took again the

first place.

This is very exiting for the final score because after race 7 France 1182 was leader with2 point.

But there was a race 8, a very careful start no risk , less wind and some light spots in

the air.

Germany sail-number 1088 first boat rounded mark one, it is a nice race to watch.

First place race 8 again for 1087 Germany.

Final score after race 8, because of the second discard we have a new

World Champion Germany 1087. (Gratuliert).

Also I will give my compliments to all sailors because I did understood most of you

are not used to this weather circumstances. (chapeau).

After the ceremonies the Dutch will give the Tempest flag to Austria, because next

year there will be hold the World-Championship Tempest 2111.

And not to forget our thanks to the sailors and everyone who made this World-

Championship possible. Drive carefully home.

Tuesday 24th day 5,

No rain today, even some sun, but still a lot of wind, between 22 and 26 knots.

The weather forecast told us more wind later today and perhaps a thunderstorm in the evening.

So the race-officer decided to go out and sail one or two races today.

33 boats came to the start and they started perfectly, but unfortunately the wind was

to strong for some boats so they had to retired, (what a pity!)

Some hoisted there Spinnakers, it was very nice to see but for several boats the wind was to

strong and one lost his Spinnaker, and an other boat lost his mainsail.

 

 

Because of some material damage we sailed only one race today.

The weather forecast for tomorrow, promised less wind so we do hope we can sail two or more

nice races.

The winner of race 1: first place for the France boat with sail number 1182,

Nos felicitations.

Day 4,

Today the real thing.

This day started with rain and not just rain but I mean RAIN.

But the Dutch are used to rain so the comity left the harbour full of optimism with the

Voorzitter B and on our tail ( wake) 34 sailors in there Tempest boats.

The first start was planned at 11.00 hours, the wind between 16 and 20 knots but 10 Min

before the start we received a Gail warning on the radio, wind 7 Beaufort and later on

gusts from 45 knots that’s about 9 Beaufort so the race-officer decided to break it of

because there was no progress in the weather forecast today.

This was a big disappointment for us, but especially for the sailors which were anxious

to sail the races. But you know we want to take very good care of our sailors and keep the material

in good condition. Today we only had some light damage and our rescue team helped two boats into the

the Harbour. We hope tomorrow the weather will be better so we can sail, because that's why

we are here for. More news tomorrow.
