This year the famous Pichlingersee regatta took place on 3-9.04.2017. There were one day of Dragon Force 65/ Mini 40 classes racing and then two days for each Tenrater, F5-E/IOM and Marblehead classes.
This time only 2 Ukrainians came to compete - Timur Kishubaiev and Stasis Kulikov, both from Odessa.
First day there was light wind, sometimes no wind. 8 Dragon force 65 and 3 Mini-40 boats were participating. In Dragon Force 65 class 6 races were held. There was a tough fight for 1st place with Eric Gielen, but I won. Stasis had his first experience in International event after a lot of years and thus had to learn a lot, especially in these tricky light wind conditions.
So Dragon Force 65 class results are as follows:
Second and third day there were F5-10 class races held.
13 competitors from Austria, Germany, Hungary, Poland and Ukraine competed in one heat. 15 races held in light wind conditions with 3 discards.

10 races held, 5 in first day and 5 in second. Strong wind from top A to top B rig in both days. 2 discards and very tight results:
Congratulation to winners!
Last days of regatta 8-9 of April there was Europe Cup competition in Marblehead class.
27 competitors from 9 countries raced in 2 heats by MSS system. First day started with top A rig - B rig conditions, but then the wind slowed down. Second day A rig conditions prevailed.
I had new boat from Martin Vano after a collision with my old one and had to adjust it for my racing style. Some weed and improvement process didn't let me to make a podium, but finally I was glad of boat performance and took stable 4 place:
Csoka Laszlo Junior wa out of concurrence. Pavel Novotny with his new boat in last races overcame Ivan Ermakov, who showed stable high results throughout all regatta. Congratulations to winners!
