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.

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!

Though I had no podium in all 3 main classes, the stable high results lead to 3rd position in overall combination of them:
