2011 Pegasus Airlines PWA World Cup Alaçati Turkey

Jetzt ist er Weltmeister, Finian hat das Finale verpasst.

Pat, Du hast den 2. Streicher Event übersehen!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch an Dunki, das ist absolut verdient! Nach vielen Jahren Scheiss-Material und viel viel Arbeit erst die North-Segel auf Vordermann zu bringen, Drecks-Brettern bei T1, bei Severne auch wieder bei 0 angefangen, nach dem die North endlich gut waren, jetzt passt alles wieder zusammen!

Craig: Die Jugend hat es selbst in der Hand, sie packt es aber offensichtlich nicht. Da hilft auch kein Serienmaterial!
Raoul: Der alte Mann kann es immer noch, auch wenn er ein paar Kilos mehr auf der Waage hat!

Totti: ich glaube nicht, dass die Segel damals das Problem waren... das lag wohl ausschliesslich an den T1 Boards.

Er war zuletzt 2005 Weltmeister zusammen mit Micah Buzianis. Da ist Bjørn T1 gefahren und das erste Jahr North-Sails. Die Segel waren schlecht, aber die Boards der ersten Serie verdammt gut. Das waren die silbernen Thommen, ich bin mir sehr sicher die besten T1 bis heute. Danach wurden die Segel peux a peux besser, deutlich besser. Die Boards eine totale Katastrophe. Das wusste jeder, nur Bjørn hat zu Peter gestanden und wollte nicht wechseln. Glaub mir, Raoul hat oft genug auf ihn eingeredet einen Strich bei den Boards zu ziehen.
Jedes Jahr die Versprechen bei T1, jetzt wird alles gut. Dann habe ich ihm die Starboards bei APM geholt als die Saison 2008 schon wieder am Arsch war (danke noch mal an APM für die schnelle Hilfe), ad hoc hat er Türkei und Sylt 2008 gewonnen, ohne sich einfahren zu können.
Im selben Jahr kam dann nach nur 3 Jahren der Abschied von North-Sails als die Segel endlich richtig gut waren, und Dunki hat bei Severne bei 0 angefangen. Und glaub mir, die Code Red sind in keiner Weise mit den Reflex 2 zu vergleichen.

Natürlich fährt er weiter, Titel verteidigen. Nach dem Titel ist vor dem Titel, zumindest bei ihm... Und ja, ich glaube fest daß er den Titel verteidigt. Die neuen Reflex 3 sehen verdammt gut aus...

Das war der letzte Tag:

The 2011 Pegasus Airlines PWA World Cup Alacati Turkey

Day six: An emotional day for Dunkerbeck as he secures the men’s PWA world slalom title in Alacati. In the women’s battle Jaggi takes the victory in Turkey but the glory goes to Offringa who claims the slalom world title.

The tension could be cut with a knife as the sailors prepared their equipment for the final showdown on Alacati’s azure water. As the men entered the final day, the event title was in reach of any of the top five. However having led the fleet for the whole week, Bjorn Dunkerbeck (Starboard / Severne / Mystic / DunkerbeckEyewear) was in the most secure place to take the win, as was Karin Jaggi (Patrik / Severne) in the women’s fleet.

Race director Juan Antonio Aragon announced just two more eliminations separated the sailors from their final results and that racing would commence at 11:30am.

Men’s Fleet

With the pressure still on, Dunkerbeck shone through the initial races of the day, sailing a slick set of heats to earn his position in the winners’ final. From the outset of the final Dunkerbeck looked like he meant business as he raced down the opening leg and into the lead. Antoine Albeau (JP / NeilPryde) and Peter Volwater (Fanatic / MauiSails) challenged him to the second mark, but from then on Dunkerbeck was away, all he had to do was stay on his board and the race was his.

Having won five races in Alacati, Dunkerbeck secured a significant lead that could not be matched therefore granting him the event win prior to the finish of the competition. With four events under his belt and second place to his name Dunkerbeck has earned himself the 2011 world slalom title with one event to spare.

Bjorn Dunkerbeck:
“It has been a very successful year for me, my Starboards and my Severne Reflexes have been going really fast. We have been working for three years on a sail that can win competitions, and so far I won four firsts and a second so its mission accomplished. With one competition to go I am the world champion, it’s been a while. This is my fourth sail maker, I won my first title in 1988 with F2, I won lots with NeilPryde, then a couple with North and this is my first victory with Severne sails so that makes me really happy. It has been a tough week, but the fast course has suited me really well, I had a few crashes but overall it went smoothly. The wind has been fantastic this week and Alacati has shown itself to be an amazing spot.

Having sailed an incredible week in Alacati, Finian Maynard (RRD) had his hands on second place throughout the competition. However the last day of racing saw Maynard go over early in the semi-finals of elimination ten and he was unable to qualify for the winner’s final in elimination eleven. Unfortunately for Maynard, a very on form Ben Van Der Steen (Starboard / Loft / Mystic) and Albeau secured the top spots in the last finals, causing Maynard’s result to plummet to fourth place.

Albeau started the week in twelfth, however a stellar set of races from the many times world champion allowed him to plough his way through the ranks and onto the podium. Albeau secured a third and a fourth place finish in today’s racing, but it wasn’t enough to block Dunkerbeck from taking the title.

Antoine Albeau:
“The first day was a total disaster, I fell a lot and some people crashed into me and I think that really affected my overall result. In the end I managed to make every final but, even in the last finals I spun out at the last gybe and that never happens. I have missed out at this event, I made the podium but I am not sure how. But overall I am pretty happy I have been going fast and I had some great starts and I have been competing.”

Elimination eleven, the final race of the competition saw early exits from key players Alberto Menegatti (Starboard / Gaastra), Cyril Moussilmani (Starboard / North) and Volwater as they failed to qualify past the first rounds.

A swift set of heats allowed the big names to shuffle themselves into their respective finals. Josh Angulo (Angulo / Gun / Dakine) dominated in the closing winners’ final of the competition to raise himself into sixth position. Angulo opened the heat with a blinding start, and ripped his way down the first leg. Having won the contest and the title a relaxed Dunkerbeck teased the rest of the fleet winding his way down the first two straights. Albeau was pushing hard along with Van Der Steen for the top positions but Angulo and Dunkerbeck were well ahead by the third mark. With clean wind the pair cruised around the remainder of the course, with Angulo fending off an elated Dunkerbeck down the final straight.

Women’s Fleet

Jaggi opened the day’s competition with a huge lead on the rest of her opponents on the results ladder; she would only need to qualify for the winners’ final to secure the competition win. Eager to finish on a high Jaggi stole the show in the elimination ten winners’ final with an amazing gybe at the third mark, allowing her to overtake a flying Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / Gaastra / Mystic) who had led the fleet up until that point.

Karin Jaggi:
“I had an easy last day out here, I knew that I only needed a sixth place finish to win the event. I managed to win the very first race so it was a relaxing day from then on. I am really stoked to have won here; it’s my second time that I have won in Alacati. It’s not my favorite conditions as it’s so flat and often really light but we have had some great wind this week, I am really happy with the results.”

A rough ride for Offringa throughout the week saw her drop some critical gybes on the high wind days. However it all came together for the final day. Valerie Arrighetti (Tabou / Gaastra / Mystic) led the fleet the whole way around the winners’ final with a charging Offringa in close second. Arrighetti displayed a smooth set of gybes to control the pack all the way to the final mark when disaster struck as she carved her way around the final gybe and she went down, opening up the door for Offringa to slip into first place on the final straight. Having won two of the four women’s slalom events and claimed podium positions at the remaining competitions, Offringa has posted the most consistent scores allowing her to win her second world title of the year.

Sarah-Quita Offringa:
“I am happy I have had a great season competing. I wanted to have a good ending here in Alacati. I didn’t have the best week but I managed to come back yesterday and today. Lena, Valerie and I were really close for three days we were only separated by a point, but today I won so I managed to finish in second. It’s a great way to end the year.”

The day also witnessed Greta Benvenuti (Patrik / Point-7 / AL360) and Marion Mortefon (AL360) sail two amazing losers finals as they both nailed their starts and take control from the very beginning to win the races.

The 2011 Pegasus Airlines PWA World Cup Alacati Turkey

Event Summary: Supreme conditions bless the beautiful bay of Alacati for six days of slick slalom sailing allowing eleven dramatic eliminations to be completed and two world titles to be awarded.

The stunning bay of Alacati provided six days of incredible slalom conditions for the sixth stop on the men’s 2011 world tour and the women’s fourth and final showdown. The PWA’s elite slalom sailors were treated to a whole variety of wind speeds ensuring the sailors were tested to the edge of their ability as they raced down the four mark downwind course, and only the most consistent sailors shone through. An astounding eleven eliminations were completed on the turquoise waters, full of thrills and spills from the world’s best that left the results open until the final intense minutes of the competition.

Bjorn Dunkerbeck (Starboard / Severne / Mystic / DunkerbeckEyewear) led the charge in the men’s fleet from day one as did Karin Jaggi (Patrik / Severne) in the women’s fleet, but it was by no means an easy ride, however both sailors persevered on the testing waters and emerged victorious as the 2011 Pegasus Airlines PWA world cup winners. The glory continued for Dunkerbeck as he earned himself the 2011 world slalom champion title with one event to go having had an extremely successful season on the water. With four event wins in the bag he has enough points to put him far enough ahead on the scoreboard to overthrow Antoine Albeau’s (JP / NeilPryde) five-year stronghold on the top spot. Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / Gaastra / Mystic) sailed a cool set of races throughout the week to secure the women’s world slalom title and her second world title in 2011.

Day 1

The newly crowned world champions, Dunkerbeck and Offringa took charge on the first day of competition, powering their way through the first elimination and obviously enjoying the flat water in Alacati. Around thirteen knots of wind fuelled the world’s rapid racers, allowing Finian Maynard (RRD) to slip into second place with Jimmy Diaz (Starboard / North) in third. Unfortunately for Albeau he suffered his first major blow in the competition as he failed to qualify for the winners’ final in the semi-finals of elimination one. Over in the women’s fleet, Jaggi finished fourth on the first day with Lena Erdil (Patrik / Loft / AL360) in second and Lise Vidal (Exocet / North) in third.

Day 2

A lighter day of wind for the second day of competition saw the sailors take to the water on their largest equipment. However it didn’t slow down the pace of competition and two more eliminations were completed allowing Dunkerbeck to secure his advantage with two more bullets and Jaggi to rise to the top of the table with two of her own victories. Albeau suffered his second and third blows in the competition as he failed to reach the finals, as did Offringa knocking both parties out of the top ten.

Day 3

The Meltemi wind continued to blow for the third day of competition, combined with glorious sunshine allowing elimination four to be completed. Dunkerbeck’s first mistake of the week saw him lose out on a qualifying position in the first round, as he failed to match the amazing speed of Brit Ross Williams (Tabou / Gaastra) down the final leg. Gonzalo Costa Hoevel (Fanatic / North) and Alberto Menegatti (Starboard / Gaastra) were the ones to watch on the third day as they consistently nailed their starts and led the fleet in the lighter winds. But Maynard was the man on fire in Alacati as he stormed his way around the course in the winners’ final to claim his first place finish, with Albeau coming in fourth. The women’s fleet also witnessed a new contender take first place as Delphine Cousin (JP / NeilPryde) flew ahead of the fleet in the women’s winners final.

Day 4

Wind reaching thirty knots left the sailors reaching for their 5.5m sails and their smallest boards on the fourth day of competition. The crowds were treated to a particularly exciting day of full throttle crashes, ferocious straights and dangerous gybes. Taking advantage of their high wind experience Maynard, Micah Buzianis (JP / NeilPryde), Peter Volwater (Fanatic / MauiSails), Josh Angulo (Angulo / Gun / Dakine) and Jimmy Diaz (Starboard / North) were the standout sailors on the fourth day as they all steamed through three more eliminations. It was a mixed day on the water for Dunkerbeck as he went down in two races and claimed the win in the third; Albeau claimed his first win in Alacati pushing him from ninth into fifth place. Cyril Moussilmani (Starboard / North) closed the day on a high with his first win. Jaggi nailed two more races to put her in an unreachable lead in the women’s fleet and Alice Arutkin (Starboard / North) sailed the race of her life to win her first race. It was a tough day for Offringa as she was unable to hold onto her 6.2m sail on the course and she went down on the gybes.

Day 5

The wind continued to blow for the penultimate day of racing, but by that point the sailors were tuned into the high winds. Offringa was back on form and sailing better than ever to steal two more wins in the women’s fleet, boosting her back into second place. Volwater barged his way to the front in men’s elimination nine as Albeau went down at the final mark. Dunkerbeck was the worst hit on the last day as he was caught up in the pile-ups at the marks, allowing Maynard to creep up behind him on the results table, leaving everything open until the final dramatic day of racing.

Day 6

The pressure was on for the final day of racing in Alacati, If Dunkerbeck pulled through the final two races he would be crowned the 2011 world slalom champion, however if things didn’t go his way any of the top five were in with a chance of walking away as the winner of the 2001 Pegasus Airlines PWA world cup, and the world champion title would be left to be decided at the final slalom event of the year in Sylt.

Aware of the pressures Dunkerbeck sailed a spectacular set of races to secure the victory in elimination ten, guaranteeing him the title and the event win with one race to spare. Maynard was the sailors that buckled and he had a particularly tough day on the water as an over early in elimination ten put in him the losers final and he failed to qualify in elimination eleven. Having stuck in second place for the whole week Maynard’s score plummeted into fourth and a very on form Ben Van Der Steen (Starboard / Loft / Mystic) moved into second place. Jaggi sailed a faultless race in elimination ten to secure her place in number one and to finish the event on a high.

The final race of the week saw Angulo and Offringa claim the final glory. Offringa finished in second place, and after a particularly successful season on the water she walked away with her second world title in 2011.

The sailors were awarded their trophies at the prize giving later that evening as the gorgeous sunset over Alacati Bay marked the end to a remarkable competition.

Nee. Du darfst mir aber mal über die Schulter schauen auf mein Notebook, dann siehst du sie.
Deadline für die Serienregistrierung ist erst am 15.10., ich möchte daher noch etwas warten, bis ich die Bilder einstelle. Die Konkurrenz schläft halt nicht. Vor Allem wurde an den kleineren Segeln (es soll ja 2012 wieder einen Pozo Slalom W.C. geben) gearbeitet und an den Materialien.

Und dann schnell einen Screenshot machen, kenne ich... Mache ich auch immer so...

Das ist der 41. Titel und ich denke, für den er am längsten und meisten gearbeitet hat...
