There is just few days left before Milan Koláček starts in 2011 Minitransat solo race on Sunday 25.9.2011. Minitransat is a crazy small boat with length of 6.5 m only. Note that it is just 40 cm longer than F20 Predator. We will  be holding our thumbs for Milan in this demanding race.More info at Milan’s web    pics

Broňa Fousek (Tornado CZE 22) recently told me that we should stop using our slogan from the poster for the Lodě na vodě exhibition “F20 Predator – the fastest sail boat in the CR” – that it is not true. Partly I agreed with him and partly just for fun I told him: “… depends when and with whom,” and we laughed. The weekend and especially Sunday proved how much this was true.

20.-21.8. 2011 Jesenice Catamaran Open

Vladislav Ptašnik

No one expected this to be the biggest open catamaran regatta so far in the Czech Republic. 10 boats gathered at the starting line. Together with two keel sailsboats and two Fireball dinghies. A lot of fun. Organizers from Jesenice took care about music and live commentary of running race. Three races on Saturday in light wind and unfortunatelly no race in Sunday. Decent party in Saturday until Sunday too. Results here.
