Twelve teams from Australia, America, the UK, Germany, Hungary, Denmark and France found their way to fragliavela Malcesine, a beautiful club on the eastside of lake Garda, to compete for the title European Champion 2010. This race is also part of the Worldtour, consisting of the JJ.Giltinian in Australia and the San Francisco race in autumn.
The conditions here in this time are normally around 12-16 knots in the afternoon in southerly winds and we expect perfect skiffsailing during the whole week. twelve races are sceduled but the crews decided in the first skippermeeting to sail even more if the conditions are like that. Additional a long distance race will be held in a separate ranking.
Although the sun is currently hiding and even some drops of rain are falling we hope for better weather thats necessary for the good thermical winds, lake garda is famoust for.
