With the 2014 RS:X European Champs about to get underway in Cesme, Turkey, where NZL Sailing Team’s Natalia Kosinska and youth men’s rider Alex Hart will start racing tomorrow. Coach Dave Robertson reports in…
“We have had an awesome week of training in 35 degrees and mostly winds between 15-20 knots. Both sailors are raring to go.
“For Natalia this is another great opportunity to race the best and prove herself. This regatta has all the medallists from 2012 Olympics and all the girls (except Chinese) who will race the World Championships in Santander in September. The fleet is as tough as it gets and it’s looking like all 55 girls will line up on the startling together in one fleet.”
“The outlook is for a very windy week at the moment. It would be nice to have a range of conditions but you can’t complain about 20 knots and sailing in board shorts everyday!”
