Finn Focus at the Silver Cup (Junior World Championship), Moscow Silver Cup – three more races sets up exciting final day
The fourth day of the Finn Silver Cup in Moscow finally produced some great racing. After suffering with light and non-existent wind so far, the 38 strong fleet got in three great races. Race wins went to Julian Massler (GER), Arkadiy Kistanov (RUS) and Artur Ponieczynski (POL), though Kistanov still leads the championship. Ponieczynski climbs to second while Robert Bakoczy (HUN) discards his DNF in the first race to jump up to third. The race committee tried to use every chance, every opportunity to get a race in. After Thursday’s thunderstorms the air flow was resumed and there was a steady 4-6 knot breeze throughout the day, which enabled three good races to be sailed – and allowed it to become a championship.
The wind pattern was quite tricky but basically the results were determined by the start. The sailors who managed to get good starts, kept their lead until the end, with only small changes in positions and no big surprises. The first race was won by Julian Massler after a good start, reading the shifts well and controlling his competitors. He won from championship leader Arkadiy Kistanov and Andrey Yanitsky (RUS) In the next race, Kistanov came to the front, and managed to read and to forecast wind changes and shifts well after a good start, to win from Egor Terpigorev (RUS) and Viktor Filippov (RUS). The final race of the day went to Artur Ponieczynski (POL) from Robert Bakoczy (HUN) and Vladimir Soleniy (KGZ). Arkady Kistanov has extended his lead, but with three races to come everything is down to the last day. He said, “I am happy how things have developed so far, because I thought I would be top five. not first. I think I have good speed in this weather, and this is my native sailing area.” “This is my fourth season in the Finn and I have sailed the Finn since I was 13 years old. Before that I sailed the Laser 4.7 and Radial for two and a half years.” Who does he think will be his main threat on the final day, “There are too many threats. First of all myself.” One of the pre-regatta favourite, Oliver Tweddell (AUS), who finished third last year, has not had the best week. He said, “This entire week has been extremely tricky, with fickle winds often making it hard to get proper races in. I must say that the race committee are doing a good job with such difficult conditions. As far as the event goes, I am enjoying the social side and have definitely improved my table tennis skills, but I am not having a very successful regatta.” Saturday’s forecast is for wind of about 8-10 knots. The Race Committee has decided to run three fleet races without a medal race, but with the last race as non-discardable. An early start at 10.00 is planned. Later, the award ceremony will be held in Moscow Sailing School “Khlebnikov” at 18.00.
Finn Focus at the Silver Cup (Junior World Championship), Moscow Silver Cup – Arkadiy maintains lead after tricky race
)Determined to get at least one more race on the score card on the third day at the Finn Silver Cup in Moscow, the fleet did not come ashore until 21.00 after a long day on the water. Artur Kotlyatov (RUS) won the only race completed, but race one winner Kistanov Arkadiy (RUS) maintains the overall lead. The fleet has now sailed just two races in three days after all racing was cancelled on Wednesday with very little wind on the lake. The series has been severely hampered so far by very light and changeable winds Early on Thursday, there was a nice breeze so the second race of the series was started just after midday. But it didn’t last long. The wind started to drop at the end of the first upwind, and effectively split the fleet into two, but then when it died completely while the boats were on the second upwind. The race was abandoned and the sailors were sent back to shore to wait for better breeze. Ashore, the young Finn sailors were given a seminar of Rule 42. Later in the afternoon, the wind returned and the fleet set sail again. After a general recall, the race was started under black flag with one of the favourites Terpigorev over early. He actually went on to win the race on the water but still scored BFD. The wind was initially around 8-9 knots but again started to fade away to 3-4 knots in the latter stages, but at least it was enough to finish the race. Artur Kotlyatov finally took the win followed by Oli Tweddell (AUS) and Sivenkov Viacheslav (RUS). The sailors finally arrived ashore amid strong winds and rain at 21.00 as thunderstorms swept through. In the overall ranking, Sivenkov climbed to second in the overall results behind Arkadiy, with Kotlyatov climbs to third, again making it a Russian top three going into the fourth day on Friday. Racing will restart on Friday at 11.00, wind permitting. Kyrgyzstan sailor For one sailor here, this is the first time he has ever seen a Finn, never mind raced one at this level. He is Asian, speaks Russian and saw his first Finn in Moscow just one week before the Finn Junior Worlds. Vladimir Solenyi comes from Kyrgyzstan, a country locked between China, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, 3,000 km east of the Caspian Sea, the closest open water. Despite competing at the Asian Games in the Laser Radial and this week in the Finn Junior Worlds, Vladimir had not seen these boats before this event. The only boats available for training on his country’s beautiful lake Issyk Kul are Optimists, Cadets and local boats, the Looch. He said, “My coach received an invitation from the Moscow Sailing School, so he asked me to come and sail in Moscow for the Junior Worlds. I was glad to come even if I had never seen a Finn for real before. It is a good experience for me and I can learn a lot. It took me some time to understand the rigging…there are more ropes than on a Laser, but I had good help and now I can do it with no problem and understand how it works.” The Moscow Sailing School purchased 100 Devoti boats and 100 masts for the 2005 Finn Gold Cup and is now graciously making them available to sailors who are coming to compete in Moscow and also regularly invite sailors from neighbouring countries. This was the case for Vladimir. “What I like most in the Finn is the speed it reaches and how it can glide in not much wind. The difficult part is when it gets windy, then I struggle to keep the boat flat.” Vladimir works as an Optimist coach in Kyrgyzstan, and is a good sailor and a fast learner. Disadvantaged by his 74 kg in the breeze, he is making the most of the light conditions in Moscow. “I would like to sail more often in the Finn but we have no boats in Kyrgyzstan, we need Lasers and Finn to train for Asian Games or Finn events.” In the meantime, Vladimir is enjoying the tough competition among the 38 Finn Junior for the World title. In the first race of the championship, Vladimir finished in a very creditable 13th place in his first ever Finn race, but fared less well in the second race with a 33rd to sit in 24th overall. Nine races are scheduled from Tuesday 26th to Saturday 30th July. The races are being run by Olympic PRO Hans-Peter Hylander from Sweden on Moscow’s northern lake, Klyasminskoye reservoir.

Aufgrund zu starker Winde wurde ein Feld – die Kielzugvögel – erstmals in der Geschichte der Travemünder Woche bei der 122. Auflage auf der Pötenitzer Wiek gestartet. Downwindkurs. Das Maritim Travemünde im Hintergrund.
Tag 1 – Keine Finn-Wettfahrt. Während die KZV wegen des Sturmes nicht auf der Ostsse, sondern der gesützten Pötenitzer Wiek segelten, schlugen die Finn- und Dyas-Segler dagegen die Möglichkeit aus, von der Bahn Bravo umzuziehen und im Schutz des Festlandes und der Priwall-Halbinsel segeln zu können.

Kiel Week day five – Wright clinches gold in medal race
After trailing the front runners all week, world champion Ed Wright (GBR) turned it around with a third place in the medal race to win the Finn class in Kiel Week. The top three were only split on count back with each tied on 30 points. Jonathan Lobert (FRA) ended up second while the leader this morning, Zach Railey (USA) had to settle for third. The race win went to Deniss Karpak (EST), who placed fourth overall. After opening with strong, damp conditions, and then losing the fourth day because of not enough wind, the week drew to a close in a very blustery but bright finish on Wednesday with the medal race for the top ten. It was a shifty affair with big place changes throughout though the job was done for Ed Wright on the second upwind. Deniss Karpak went on to win the race from Thomas Le Breton (FRA) with Wright in third. Wright was just one place ahead of early regatta leader Jonathan Lobert, and that was enough to equal his score, while Zach Railey lost crucial distance on the second upwind to finish in sixth and lose the overall lead. Railey said, “My plan was to just race my race as points were so close. But it was a race with lots of changes and there were some very big shifts. I was on the wrong side of a big one on the second upwind and that pretty much put me in third overall. ” “It was a huge fight all week so for all of us, so to end on the same points shows how close the racing really was all week. I am happy to have a podium finish and we feel like we are making improvements which is the most important for the future. Getting on the podium was the goal this week but it still hurts to not win.” The lack of top sailors here is testament to the tough season that is behind them, with three major regattas in the past four weeks. Many are concentrating on next month’s Open Europeans in Helsinki, while some are just focussing on the London 2012 test event in Weymouth in August. In the ISAF Sailing World Cup standings, Great Britain fills the top three places with Ben Ainslie (GBR) taking gold and Wright beating Giles Scott (GBR) to the silver medal on the tie break, with both on 90 points. Wright’s win in Kiel also means that all the ISAF Sailing World Cup events this year have been won by GBR sailors. Wright, of course, has also won the ISAF Sailing World Cup for the past two years. Elsewhere, Railey finished fourth while a second in Kiel for Jonathan Lobert moves him up to 10th overall. Only seven out of the top 20 sailors were actually in Kiel. Results after medal race (medal race in brackets)
Ed Wright (GBR), Jonathan Lobert (FRA) and Zach Railey (USA) all ended on 30 points after the Finn Medal Race. But Wright took the gold after he finished ahead of his rivals in third place in the Medal Race. Lobert came fifth to take the silver medal and Railey was sixth and goes home with bronze.
Im Finn reichte es für die Deutschen Matthias Miller (Laupheim) und Jan Kurfeld (Wismar) zu den Plätzen sechs und acht. Den Sieg holte sich in einer knappen Entscheidung der Engländer Edward Wright.
Sehr zufrieden mit dem Ablauf des olympischen Teils der Kieler Woche war der Vize-Präsident des Deutschen Segler-Verbandes Thorsten Haverland: „Das waren schwierige Bedingungen in dieser Woche, körperlich sehr anstrengend. Wir sind begeistert von den Medal Races, richtig geile Bilder. Der Wolrdcup in Weymouth hat schon gezeigt, dass wir auf dem richtigen Weg sind. Wir sind sehr zuversichtlich, dass wir bei Olympia alle Disziplinen besetzen können.“
