AUGIE DIAZ AND CHRISTIAN NEHAMMER ARE THE 2019 STAR EASTERN HEMISPHERE CHAMPIONS
The Eastern Hemisphere Championship has just dropped the curtains on Attersee, Austria, after staging a wonderful show with different conditions every day, so that the sailors had to adjust again and again to the wind, weather and waves and could not lower their attention. Wednesday was the "last summer day"; Thursday is the day between the seasons and Friday is called the "first autumn day" here in Attersee: winds from the north, up to 17 knots, 30 km / h, with big waves and the water almost ink black, proved the saying right.
The final ranking was decided only on the last day. The fleet was extremely nervous for the first start and as a result there were two general recalls before the committee hoisted the Black Flag that put the fleet in order. Third time was the charm and the last day was on.
Negri-Lambertenghi (ITA) winners of the Star Class Eastern Hemisphere Championship, Diaz-Prada (USA/BRA) are second and Allart-Weise (NED/GER) third
Two races were held today, the last very tough day of the Star Eastern Hemisphere Championship 2018. The winds were very shifty and the PRO had a very difficutl time, but luckily a fifth race was finished and teams could discard their worst score and ensured a regular championship.
Three races sailed. Negri-Lambertenghi at the top of the overall ranking ahead of Diaz-Prada (USA) and Jennings-Kleen (USA)
A cloudy, sunny and rainy day, with an east-north-east wind blowing first (Bora) and a north-west wind coming in later on, in the most changeable weather ever, the first three races of the Star Eastern Hemisphere Championship 2018, held in Trieste by Yacht Club Adriaco, were sailed today.
