Final results Optimist general results

“Another great event finished. 10 hard races, a lot of hours on the water under a really hard competition. Our Swiss Sailing Team TalentPool gold with the ups and downs complete the regatta with some decent rankings, 18, 20, 21, 29, 41, 61, 112 and 190 among 360 sailors.
Congratulations to Marco Gradoni twice world champion for his amazing performance showing one more time the way you have to sail optimist.
Now for my team an upcoming ski session weekend and for me back to my under 9 years old Greek team project. Soon we will meet again for Palamos.”
