Nacra takes podium in ISRAEL

Over 20 catamarans took part in the Israel Open Catamaran championship, October 12-13 2012, held in Sdot Yam, Israel. The weather was perfect; it seems at times that someone just coordinated the wind to support the competition.A total of 6 races over two days with 3 races per day in a Trapezoid Course with a gate for downwind mark forced us to work hard and plan each race.The first day started with light winds of about 8 knots that built to 12 Knots for the final race for the day. The second day was another story starting at 12-14 knots reaching 18-22 knots for the final race and a nice/challenging swell.The results:F18 1) Ofer Jacob & Eshel Nir – Nacra Infusion F18 2) Asaf Leshem & Odi Goldan – Wildcat 3) Giyora Snipper & Yov Levi – Nacra Infusion F18 20 Feet: 1) Almog Amir & Offer Reshef – Nacra F20 Carbon 2) Eitan Friedlander & Yoav Bachar – Nacra 20 One design3) Lior Lavi & Sahaf Amir – - Nacra 20 One design

Talented young sailors from the 420 & 470 boats joined the race as preparation for the first to Nacre 17 to arrive soon. Now it is clear that the initiation of the Olympic preparation will defiantly support the entire catamaran sailing here, improve sailing level and increase interest.

We hope to see international sailor taking part in our sailing events and looking forward to participate in various international events in the near future.
