Bodensee Finale
Bottighofen, October 22-24, 2010
“Wet Feet Overall winner of the Longtze European Tour 2010
|
Experience triumphs, a victory for Eckhard Kaller and his team "Wet Feet" last week at the Bodensee Cup, the final of the Longtze European Tour! The German crew took out the final and the European Tour 2010 without contest. Eckhard and his team's title will be up for grabs in 2011: many new crews are already in the start box looking to take it from them!. In total, seven legs were raced, seven courses dominated by the German team “ Wet Feet” who took out the event with a lead of 6 points over Jarmo Wieland’s “Shensu” and 13 over the Naval Academy crew led by Stéphane Christidis. The Longtze “Voiles et Voiliers” finished fourth. “We are of-course very happy with this result! There’s no great secret to this, we have achieved this through the hard work put in by Seba, Theresa and Samy. We have been sailing together since the Longtze circuit was launched in Europe, and it has borne fruit. Jen, who replaced Samy (about to become a Father) on this final race, adapted perfectly to the team. Our other strong point, is of-course our sails, North 3 DL (Eckhard is Master sailmaker at North)! We are faster up-wind than last year, especially in lighter winds. And then, new teams coming onto the circuit also worked in our favour, but the regattas have always been really interesting. We will be back next year with pleasure, and we will try to participate in a maximum of events” comments Eckhard Kaller, Wet Feet skipper.
