Our version.
I am writing this to please all members / friends who have asked us to tell us how our adventure went to the Championship 2010 Olympic classes.
We assume that we have decided to tackle this story in February, without even having the boat. So
:
1 - we did not have 2
boat - we had never trained on a 470
3 - we did not have anyone that we could do a little 'guide with a little' experience to be able to point the way to go;
some tips we have applied to the right and lacking, even to the left and right, but only simple tips yourself and everything else I assure you that it was not just a walk over to train because we had to organize all the logistics: the cart, membership of the class, various types of insurance, etc. etc.. but once you have found the boat, and I thank Michael, we have set in motion and slowly we have solved all the various problems that arose.
We trained a bit ', but even here all alone I feel to thank Roberto despite ailments on an afternoon boat followed us with some good advice and we gave it. We spent whole evenings watching videos on the Internet to steal some secret then water test. So the months have passed and suddenly we found ourselves ready to go down to 23 September in the water with the largest samples of 470 Italians. 60
inscribed and all accustomed to this type of racing. Fortunately, we also met friends of 1 Club, and with them we shared the moments before, during and after races. Faces have "family" comfort always a bit '. In the first race looked like two kids on the first day of school so we were leaving ultra conservative, perhaps ... a bit 'too much during the race we lost a lot of time to understand what were the buoys "our" sea were placed in areas with more than 6 buoys each and ours, Camp Delta, home to 470 and Finn each with so its a bit 'we were losing but we carry out three tests planned for that day, we are very low in the standings, but our mood is high! we are aware of our resources and capabilities. Our goals, namely to participate - to learn - not to come last, seem within reach. The second day of bad weather and strong wind trying to get out but the boat is under too much stress to try to re-enter without going away ... we are a little 'sorry the situation there begins to taste and we feel less of fish out of water. Take a DNS vabbèh will try tomorrow. But the day after 30 knots from the west!
In fact, in the downwind leg we have returned all (we have no spinnaker broke the previous race) finish the race in tears .. a bit 'happy, a little' dejected and <...se avessimo avuto lo spi??> Thank you, thank you all very beautiful and was an adventure and there were many people from the nearby boys school that urged us always to Stephanie who has endured and supported with his usual savoir TerracinaVelaClub do and all that with its modest possibilità ci è stato comunque vicino .
