The Soling Europeans of 2018 will be held at Alsóörs, Hungary between 1-5th of May. Alsóörs is located on the northern side of Lake Balaton, the most prominent lake in Central Europe. Alsóörs Marina has an excellent infrastructure, making it ideal for the five-day-long regatta. Hopefully, the winds of spring will allow all nine races to be completed.

The race can be watched via the live view of www.kwindoo.com/1111-soling-european-championship/tracking or the KWINDOO Live View smartphone application, and these are available internationally. According to the Notice Of Race, using KWINDOO is obligatory for the racers, therefore likely everybody will be seen in the system.

The cooperation of the Soling class and KWINDOO is already of some history: several Soling regattas and also the World Championship of 2017 was presented with this system. Those successful experiences and the enthusiasm of the competitors and organizers led to more planned cooperation.
