The Ora Mixes It Up At Tornado Europeans
Tornado European Championship 2010
The race team gave the sailors three races packed with action, there were over 20 capsizes during the day but with no breakages.
ITA President and World Champion Roland Gaebler commented on the racing saying 'This really is the best of Lake Garda, rodeo sailing with the famous Ora winds. It was one of the hardest racing days for me from over the past ten years.'
The Greek team of Iordanis Paschalidis and Konstantinos Trigonis have taken an early lead with three wins from three races. They are followed by the current world champions the mixed team of Roland Gaebler and Nahid Gaebler who are six points behind. The results represent the wind conditions with over half of the fleet not starting the third and final race of the day.
