Will you put up a list over the competitors and equipment? Nice to see that it´s so many participating in Europeans Championships.

ceri | 16th August 2011 (11:49:43)

competitor list should go up any minute - the equipment list is nearly ready to publish

Anonym | 16th August 2011 (14:15:58)

what is happening NOW?

Mattias SWE73 | 16th August 2011 (18:16:14)

How to get more women to compete in the Formula class?

goel | 16th August 2011 (18:40:43)

please, take some photos and upload it here!

adam | 16th August 2011 (18:45:37)

I think it is a good way to get more sponsors and publicity-we should get more women and they should surf in bikini :D Maybe it is funny but I think it can work and I'm sure that our racing will be more interesting.

Mattias SWE73 | 17th August 2011 (09:56:19)

What happened with the results for the Blue flight?
Can you get the results changed the day after the races took place? That seems strange to me? Doesn´t that have to do with the protesttime for the day the races took place? This can mean that we don´t get any Swede in the Goldfleet......

ceri | 17th August 2011 (10:14:01)

It is not a protest issue - it is race committee issue. the blue fleet results were posted late , there were some errors which were corrected before asiigning flights for race 4

ceri, race 10 is valid?

ceri | 20th August 2011 (10:25:01)

yes - valid race - but last race

Mattias SWE73 | 20th August 2011 (13:40:50)

Good reports from the EC. It have been fun to read and see all the pictures. Funny to see that there were´nt anyone from Denmark. Wonder why, maybe because they´re hosting the MastersWC this year.

BrettMorris | 22nd August 2011 (06:18:29)

Great event guys...

J | 22nd August 2011 (07:59:56)

How did Casper do that with one arm?? Respect

johannes | 22nd August 2011 (09:10:09)

to Mattias... maybe because the EC level is so high for them!?(joke). or is it question of attitude and respect. See who have not already been in Sopot 2 years ago. and why???

jason | 28th August 2011 (17:03:40)

How come on the pictures of Estonia Baltic cup there are two BRA999 on the same starts? shurman and who?

Martin EST-202 | 29th August 2011 (15:29:05)

to Jason- it is me EST-202 and if you look closer your should see my number under. It's because my 12,0 sail broke and Shurman was so kind to give me his. many thanks to Wilhelm for that, as without his help I would of been in very bad situation...

jason | 30th August 2011 (07:47:44)

Congratulations Martin, I later looked at the pictures and spotted it was you.

Martin EST-202 | 1st September 2011 (11:12:01)
