Tight races, tricky winds anda lot of fun on the water. These were the conditions for the 2009 german F18 nationals at lake Brombach.
The sailors competed in 12 races at 4 days in a breeze from 2 up to 5 Bft.

In the first days there has been a close contest between Justus Wolf/Rea Nies on their Capricorn and the Infusion-sailing Sach brothers, which had the lead at the end. Even though, they were able to strike out a 2nd place.
Lindstaedt/Boll (on Infusion), Elterlein/Regahl (Infusion) and Ruebling/Bock (Tiger) fought for the 3rd place, which was finally taken by Sven Lindstaedt and Philip Boll.
They made the best pace at the gusty Thursday, were some other teams capsized, but did also a well job at calm Sunday.

So the ranking shows 2 Nacras at the podium, and 3 of them amongst the first 6.
The sailors were enthusiastic about the perfect conditions, and all agreed, that Formula 18 is best catamaran class to have fun on the water...
