Thanks to our great photographers there are two places you can go to find photos from the World Masters in Torbole.
Risk management was the deciding factor on the second day of the Finn World Masters in Torbole as local knowledge and Garda geometry meant that there were many changes in position through the four groups as the 355 Finns battled against strong, cold and remarkably shifty winds all day. Rafael Trujillo (ESP), Vladimir Krutskikh (RUS) and Mike Maier (CZE) all recorded a perfect score with two race wins each, while other race wins went to Harles Liiv (EST) and Yuri Tokovoi (UKR).
Those who have sailed the Finn through an Olympic campaign know it well as ‘The Ultimate Challenge’. This moniker has stuck with the class through generations and remains as true today as it ever was – except perhaps more so, as the Olympians of previous generations are regressing back to their youthful dreams of glory and finding a new rewarding challenge at the Finn World Masters.
I'm sure a number of you have been to Barbados or the Caribbean Islands before, so forgive my enthusiasm, as this is the first time for me. From the moment you land you are met with very happy chilled people, the Barbadians, or Bajans, have a great way about them and it doesn't matter if you are in a taxi, a bus or in the centre of a market in Bridgetown, the attitude is the same. For many suspicious Europeans this takes a few days to get used to.
