International D-ONE Association
2017 Gold Cup Lake Balaton, Hungary
The D One Rooster Gold Cup was held on Lake Balaton from the 24th to the 28th May, hosted by the Hungarian D One fleet and Balatonfured Yacht Club.
Competitors from Hungary, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland and the United Kingdom enjoyed a fantastic championship with superb sailing conditions, excellent race management and a very warm welcome from the hosts.
Eight races were sailed in conditions ranging from 5 to 25 knots against the stunning backdrop of Lake Balaton.
Day one was sailed in top end conditions and from the start Hungarian sailors Tomai Balazs (current European Champion) and Tamas Szamody showed great speed and excellent boat handling to finish 1,2.
The 2nd race saw the wind increase with D One's launching themselves in all directions on the long fast downwinds. Tomai had some spinnaker issues and capsized leaving Tamas to take the win with Giles Chipperfield and Dave Gorringe (both of Lymington Town SC) taking 2nd and 3rd.
2017 European Championship, Alassio, Italy
Circolo Nautico Alassio 20th – 24th September
20 D Ones from 6 nations gathered at the beautiful coastal town of Alassio on the Italian Rivera for the 2017 European Championships. The 8 race event was sailed in light and variable conditions with the sea breeze struggling to establish itself.
This lead to a pattern of enjoyable mornings spent in the beach front cafés or catching up with friends in the boat park followed by lunch at the marina before heading out in the afternoon sun for a couple of races.
The lighter breezes made for close racing throughout the fleet with constant decision making about shifts and pressure. Gains and losses were made in every race with many photo finishes to decide placings!
Nick Craig proved adept at managing the conditions and delivered a consistent series of 1st and 2nd places. He also generously gave a seminar on how sail a D-One properly, which was hugely appreciated – and very effective, since Chris Sallis and Giles Chipperfield won the next two races, while Enrico Ciferri also won a race and led a couple more.
However, everyone except Nick also managed to accumulate some high scores in the tricky conditions. Congratulations to a great champion.
2016 Preview of D-One Season
2016 is building up to be a fantastic year of D-One sailing. We have some great regattas lined up for you in some of the D-One's favourite locations and also some exciting new events.
This year the European Championships will once again be hosted by the Czechs on Lake Lipno at Yacht Club Jestrabi. It really is a fantastic base for sailng event. The club has a relaxed atmosphere with camping or motorhome facitilities right next to the launching beach with parking for cars and trailers also. The site has cabins available to hire with a small cafe and pub or there is a very reasonably priced hotel across the road. The race course is not far from the launch which means only a short time after you cross the finish line you can be relaxing with a beer and forget about that terrible start or vica versa you can be relaxing with a nice beer with only short distance to get out to the race course to make that terrible start (I think that is the normal Czech tradition)! A full social will be organised at the club with often a local brewary donating a keg of beer in the evening. The event will take place from 16th June to 19th June with training races organised on the thursday. NOR and registration is available here: http://www.camplipno.com/d-one-european-championship-2016
Campionato Europeo D-One Riva del Garda
Riva del Garda, 4-6 September 2015.
It ended last weekend the European Championship class "D-One", valid for the Italian crews as Italian Championship, organized by Fraglia Vela Riva del Garda.
Gold Cup 2015, Travemunde Woche
Nick Craig took 6 out of 7 line honours to win the 2015 D-One Gold cup in Travemunde, 23rd – 26th July. The town of Travemunde pulled out all the stops with fireworks, laser light shows, beach bars, and of course the compulsory sausage and beer stalls that come with such a prestigious German regatta. The weather was a mixed bag of flat calm, 30deg sunshine, to 40kt squalls with electrical storms.
2016 Gold Cup, Riva del Garda
The fleet enjoyed 2 races on Day 1 in a 15knt northerly Pela wind. Mario Rabbo ITA and Tomai Balazs HUN made the break away with Mario winning and Nick Craig GBR moving up to second after Tomai made a mistake at the finish. The wind was shifting more for the second race and the first beat saw gains and losses on either side. This time Nick and Mario moved ahead with Nick taking the bullet and Mario second. Tim Garvin GBR rounded out the top 3. With close racing throughout the fleet and some classic Lake Garda down wind rides everyone returned to shore to share their stories from the day over a beer and a plate of pasta at the club.
Travemunde Gold Cup
We are looking forward to the upcoming Gold Cup at the Travemunde Woche regatta on the 23rd - 26th July. This should be a super 4 day event set amongst the festival activities and entertainment that takes place throughout the week on the white sandy shores of the Baltic. On the water we are expecting fantastic, well organised racing with the added enjoyment of an evening of short races on the spectator course in the river. Registration is open now through the Travemunde Woche website and information and direct links to Notice of Race is also on our Gold Cup event listing.
