Have a closer look to the results of the Europeans Championship in Silvaplana Switzerland !

1st and 2nd place are tight and the battle for the third will be amazing tomorrow.

The American Bora Gulari and the Australian Nathan Outteridge are still leading the championships, and there is a tie between the two athletes for the first place on the general ranking. As Nathan Outteridge says it, tomorrow is the last day, but three races are still to be sailed and there is still a long way to go! The conditions are fantastic on the lake and the competitors sail their boat to the extreme, at speeds regularly exceeding 25 knots! The concentration is at its maximum and must remain as such up to the last race of the championships. The third position is also under heavy competition: only two points separate the Swiss Arnaud Psarofaghis, the British Simon Payne and the Australian Scott Babbage !

You can not miss that video from the Syz Moth Euro 2010 in Silvaplana talking about the design of the Moth International through Andrew McDougall designer of the Mach 2 explaining how it works !

Results of day 3 are now on !

The 85 participants to the SYZ & CO MOTH EUROPEANS has welcome the sun with enthousiasm today. The lake looked amazing : Turquoise blue water and steady 20 knots were one the programme today. Nathan Outteridge and Bora Gulari are sharing the first two places. One's got 2 first and 1 second, and the other 2 second and one first today... Who's who?

Have a look to the German report of the day 2 racing from Manfred Schreiber !

Bora Gulari, the hero of the day with two first places and one second, also underlines: “This class is fantastic, we are like a big family, and it is really great to be here.” A comment on the very tight results of the leading group? What makes the difference? What makes it that he is in front of the others? He answers modestly with a smile: “the luck or … just a windshift maybe!” The well-named Bora - his name comes from the Mediterranean wind, the bora, a northern wind which can be very violent - explains: “What I like above all with the Moth is the silence, once you fly… I do not regret at all the windsurf nor the forty-niner. The moth is now part of me…”
