Mer Monaco
2009-02-13 fredag
Vet i hundan vem i Sverige som är
110%-igt laddat för vad som händer i Monaco. Men vi spinner vidare
med kort info och lite bilder, eftersom vi blir mejlbombade från
arrangören. Och dom uppfyller en halv kravspec som vi har på
skota, nämligen bilder.
"Världeliten inom enskrovssegling på plats i helgen!",
utropar dom. Klasserna som bl.a gäller är J24, Mumm och Melges 32.
Dessutom ett par klasser som vi har blygsam koll på:
Platu 25: the most international class
Designed by Farr Yacht Design, this racing boat has been conceived to race at day time and teach the beginners the ropes of regattas. Having turned a blind eye to the details of the cabin of an average monotype, this fast racer is meant to race by day. Acknowledged by the ISAF since 2005 and widely distributed in Europe, numerous are the great champions who have started on these great dynamic yachts, to name a few the Greek Olympic Champion Katerina Kaloudi, helming Duende.
Longtze Premier: the monotype made in China
It is also a first race of the season and one out of five regattas on the European Tour for the “Son of the Dragon”. This new sport boat, a Steve Thomson design from the New Zealand born architect, has been developed by the America’s Cup Challenge team. Without compromising comfort low draught makes it as unstable as it can be fast, as soon as 300kg of ballast will coincide with gusts of wind. Before the wind, it speeds up thanks to its light hull propelled by a powerful canvassing surface of a total 92.5 m² for a 6.84 m boat.
13 boats are expected, with notably the presence of various nautical personalities, amongst who one will find Figaro racers Erwan Tabarly, Marc Emig, Nicolas Béranger, two-time winner of the Nice-Cap Istanbul, the Olympic Medallist Guillaume Florent, Bronze Medallist in Finn class in Quindao as well as Pierre Mas and Luc Gellusseau, initiators of the last three French and Chinese teams of the America’s Cup.
