Sarebbe da Copy&paste ma diamo spazio alle due fanciulle azzurre che stanno dominando il Campionato Europeo  ad Istambul….quattro bullets e due secondi…..

“…………….Meanwhile the women were out on the water battling through three long and gruelling races. At the end of those three races, the reigning European Champions, Giulia Conti and Giovanna Micol of Italy are still leading, but not by as much as they might have hoped. They started well enough with a 1,2, but fell from grace in the final, windiest race of the day with a 17th. Although they can discard this result at the moment, the Italians have been forced to count a 16th from the first race of the regatta. “We didn’t start the race so well, we weren’t that fast, and we got held up from hoisting the spinnaker on the first reach,” explained Micol. “But still we are 10 points ahead of the Danish and so really we should be happy.”
The Danish team of Henriette Koch and Lene Sommer moved up to 2nd overall with a solid day in very challenging conditions. “It was about being in the right place at the right time, using the pressure when you could find it. You had to sail your own race but stay with the fleet too,” said Koch.
Aside from the Italians, the other two race winners in the women’s fleet were a mix of the young and the not so young. Former Optimist World Champion Tina Lutz, sailing with Susann Beucke, won the seventh race of the series by a country mile. These two German sailors are still young enough to be racing in 470 Junior competition but this year have been focusing on the big senior regattas.
Meanwhile the Austrian team of Sylvia Vogl and Carolina Flatscher are dipping their toe back into 470 racing after taking more than a year’s break. The lay-off seems to have done them little harm, as the veterans led round the first mark of today’s final race, hoisted their spinnaker and shot down the track. They got a bit worried when no one was hoisting behind them. “Sylvia kept asking me if we were sailing to the right mark,” said Flatscher, “but luckily we were going in the right direction and we extended the gap.” The conservatism of the rest of the fleet played into the hands of the Austrians, which was just as well for them. On the second upwind leg, their mast puller broke and they could no longer control the mast as they would like, and they started slowing down. Even so, they held on to win the race and now move up to 6th overall……….”

The 2010 Open 470 European Championships conclude with the Medal Race on 6 September. The regatta is organised by The Istanbul Sailing Club in co-operation with the International 470 Class Association and the Turkish Sailing Federation.
