Sun, water, wind, nice sceneries. That is Como, Italy in a nutshell. A great place for the first F16 Europeans.
Damn, what a great lake!

From 1 pm onwards the wind starts to blow Southernly (Nothernly in the morning) untill about 6 pm. Some of the teams had already arrived early and were ready to sail on Saturday. Everyone had a great time sailing in about 15 knots.
Also the wind and water is so hot you only need a shorty and that is still too warm at some times! :-)

Saturday afternoon most of the teams arrived and we could meet up with some familiar faces we hadn't seen for a long time.

Today we did our first race, the practice race. In fact it was held together with a local regatta.
2 small races were done today, with only 5 boats on the starting line the first race.
The wind was blowing Northernly the whole day because a storm hit us last night and this caused very shifty wind and a lot of dead spots during the race.

The second race of the day most of the F16's were out on the water. (I think we are about 17 in total).

We didn't manage to do another race as the wind totally died and everyone headed back to the club.

From tomorrow onwards we'll be posting the results here so check it out!
