The Australian team arrived on the Costa Brava with a fleet of 17 catamarans with the clear objective of taking the F18 World Championship 2019 to the other end of the planet and have achieved it... after six days of regatta in the waters of the Bay of Roses, the catamaran of the Australians Darren Bundock and Conor Nicholas has proclaimed itself world champion

03 / 07 / 2019: Australians take the lead at the expense of Greeks in the World Cup of F18

Due to the storm that has affected the areas of the Ripolles and Alt Emporda, the race direction, in coordination with the sea officers, have successfully cancelled the third test of the day for both fleets: the Gold Fleet and Silver Fleet

The Australian catamaran of Darren Bundock and Conor Nicholas has taken the lead at the cost of the Greek of the Red Bull team of Iordan Paschalidis and Konstantinos Trigonis in the final line of the test.

The difference between the first two classified F18 World Championship Costa Brava 2019 was yesterday 12 points in favour of the Greeks. Today, Australians have managed to dry the disadvantage and put three points ahead.

They have done so with a millimeter navigation, with a high speed in the built-in and precision in the maneuvers, which have been translated into two first positions, while the Red Bull catamaran could only be fourth and ninth.

After eleven contested races, everything makes it possible to predict that tomorrow, the last day of the championship, would be decisive to rule out who will be the new world champion of F18 of 2019. If the first and second places are not yet completely clear, the third appears to have an insured name, that of the Argentine crew of Cruz González and Mariano Heuser.

The best Spanish catamaran classified - there are 15 in competition - remains that of Fabian Manuel Migoya and Alexis Parcerisa, of the Castelldefels Nautical Club, which are kept in place 27.

The F18 World Championship Costa Brava 2019 has already completed 9 races, enough that if the wind were to end today, the competition could be considered valid to proclaim the world champions of F18 this year.

In the early F18 World Championship Costa Brava 2019, the 130 catamaran fleet has been divided into two categories: Gold Fleet and Silver Fleet. In the gold category the top 65 catamarans of the classimatoriums compete, while the remaining 65 are in the silver category.

Among the favorites of the final victory, very badly they would have to go the last two days to the Greek catamaran of the Red Bull team of Iordanis Paschalidis and Konstantinos Trigonis, which today has won a fifth, a second and a first place and head the classification of the F18 World Championship Costa Brava 2019 with a 12-point advantage over the second.

The second temporary post is for the Australian catamaran of Darren Bundock and Conor Nicholas. The Australian crew has distributed today's victories with the Greeks, doing also a first and a second, but only a dozen positions in one of the three tests.

The catamaran of the Argentines Rus González and Mariano Heuser has recovered the third position of the general, who had lost in favor of Mitch Booth and Ruben Booth, a crew of the Club Vela Palamós that competes under Australian flag and that today have had very bad day, falling to the 19th place.

The F18 World Catamaran Championship on the Costa Brava has today left the Qualifying Series ready and the last three days of race will be for the final series. The thermal wind that has blown on the beach of the Cortal de la Devesa de Sant Pere Pescador - with an average of 10 knots in the two fields of balizados - has allowed to dispute the three planned tests.

Among the favorites of the final victory, is the Greek catamaran of the Red Bull team of Iordan Paschalidis and Konstantinos Trigonis, which with five first places and an onceavo, leads the classification of the F18 World Championship Costa Brava 2019 after two days of races.

The second temporary post is for the Australian catamaran of Darren Bundock and Conor Nicholas. The Australian crew, who today won all the tests of their race field, mixes the experience of veteran Bundock, from New South Wales and silver medal in the Tornado class at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, with the young promise Nicholas, who is looking for the classification to compete laser in the JJ. OO. Tokyo 2020. On the other hand, the catamaran of the Argentines Rus González and Mariano Heuser went down to the third place of the general.

It should be noted that the fourth position of Mitch Booth and Ruben Booth, a crew of Club Vela Palamós that last year was proclaimed Formula 18 champion of the Spanish Cup, but this year competes under Australian flag.

The best Spanish catamaran classified is that of Fabian Manuel Migoya and Alexis Parcerisa, of the Castelldefels Nautical Club, which occupy the 28 position. In fact, among the 65 ships of the Gold Fleet that will be won, there are only 3 Spanish catamarans... to find the first mixed crews (male-female) of this world championship we have to go to place 37 of the Finns Mikko Räisänen and Kirsikka Räisänen and the 38 of the French Cédric Fleury and Delphine Fleury... there are no mixed catamaran between the Spanish fleet.

The Greek catamaran of the Red Bull team of IordanIs Paschalidis and Konstantinos Trigonis (GRE-7) leads the provisional classification of the F18 World Championship Costa Brava 2019 after the first day of regatta. Secondly, the catamaran of the Argentines Rus González and Mariano Heuser has been located and the third place in the provisional classification has been for the Australians Brett Goodall and Steff Haazen.

The first official day of the F18 World Championship Costa Brava has taken off on the beach of the Cortal de la Devesa de Sant Pere Pescador shortly after one afternoon, when the race committee has certified that the thermal wind has stabilized. The large number of participating vessels - 130 catamarans with 260 tripulantes- has led the organization to have balized two race fields a mile from the beach, between Punta Falconera and the Scale, occupying the entire bay of Roses. The wind has blown between 8 and 14 knots and allowed the three tests to be disputed.

Those who have best read the thermal wind that has blown in the Bay of Roses have been the Greek catamaran of the Red Bull team, who have obtained three first positions that place him in front of the provisional classification of the championship. Paschalidis began sailing when he was only 9 years old and has been a member of the Greek sailing team since 1985.

After them, the catamaran of the Argentines Rus González and Mariano Heuser, who has obtained a second, a fifth and a third place, who places them seconds.
