For this regatta we all received a big bag full of pasta since the sponsor is the pasta company Milaneza. Guys this is minimum 5 kg of additional weight!
Anyhow for the next couple of weeks we are prepared now for pasta parties.

Since there was no wind at the starting time we had to wait. One Hobbie Cat had a problem with his mast (in fact it was laying on the water) and nearly all of the boats were passing and asking the guys if they need some help (sry. no pics).
