This then proceeds to make their life much harder ... trimming the main is key to balancing the boat and going fast. Stens K16 DVD has some good coverage on this point.



Absolutely

Tim has arrived safely at Torbole in spite of the Italian air traffic controllers’ best efforts.  He has sent me the SMS below:

 

Yes I have arrived in Torbole, weather boiling hot and 25knots hooray

Update from Tim on today's racing  (I should have mentioned that there is a rumour that Robert Scheidt will be racing tomorrow )

Well the first race was briiliant!
25 knots winds and blazing sunshine....amazing.

20 D-ones, 2 olympic sailors, Gasper Vincec,  fresh from winning Olympic Kiel week in the Finn class and Silvio Santono Olympic Star sailor.
Race 1 and it payed to sail to the right hand side to the cliffs, Santoni banged far right and was first to the windard mark by 1min closely followed by Vincec and Garvin who played the shifts up the middle right.
Ferrari (1st in Bracciano) went left and dropped to 4th.
Silvio Santoni 1st
Gasper Vincec 2nd
Tim Garvin 3rd
Alberto Ferrari 4th

2nd Race and more of the same wind although the course was shortened to one windward leeward, although it over a mile long beat.
Vincec, Ferrari and Garvin all tacked off on the start and banged right, although Garvin sailing in Ferrari's dirty wind dropped right back.
Places changed in the top 5 but it was Michael Maier (this year's Finn World Masters winner) who took the bullet, Ferrari 2nd, Vincec 3rd, and Garvin was pipped on the line by Paolo Rossi 4th, Garvin 5th

Overall Results after day one
1st Gasper Vincec
2nd Alberto Ferrari
3rd Tim Garvin
4th Paolo Rossi
5th Michael Maier

it's one of the development sails that seems to have found it's way to Torbole, well spotted

Tim came 5th overall this weekend with Silvio Santoni 1st, Michael Maier 2nd, Philippe Rogge 3rd and Gasper Vincec 4th.  He is amongst very good company!  He may be 1st or 2nd in the series

The rumours that Robert Scheit would sail today were unfounded.  He was ther but preferred to spectate - 25 knots of wind again today so I guess that specating was fun.

No full Tim report yet as I think he is engrossed in pasta and vino.
