It is looking quite promising for the next period of the 2009 European Speedsailing Championships. The final call will be made again next Friday.

Let us draw your attention to a small typing mistake in the event programme, the next period ends on Saturday 07.11. and not on Saturday 06.11.

Due to the bad longterm forecast for the first period of the European Speed Championchips, the classes IKA and ISWC in conjunction with the local organizer decided to postpone the event. The next chance for a start is the first week of November.

There was only a slight chance to get wind from the right direction on a maximum of two days during the event, with generally low wind speeds. The whole period seems to be caught in a south-easterly flow with not much hope of a drastic change.

We will keep you informed on the weather development for the second period, and make early warnings two weeks in advance and a final call one week ahead again.

It looks like we are coming into a nice westerly flow now, and thus we are giving a first official warning for the European Championships being held in Dungarvan, Ireland, for the dates 17th till 23rd of October. We are closely monitoring the weather patterns and hope to give you a definite go in the next days.
