Austrians and Australians on the Final Push
Tornado European Championship
Cagliari, Sardinia
Austrians Andreas HAGARA and Michael SEIDL, won the championship with a race to spare from fellow countrymen Roman HAGARA and Hans Peter STEINACHER, with Russians Andrey KIRILYU and Valery USHKOV in third.
In a light final day at the event with a six knot Southerly breeze today, Darren BUNDOCK and John FORBES (AUS) took the open title and with it the fifth Mats Nyberg trophy.
Two races were sailed and after a number of general recalls, which resulted in a couple of black flag OCS it was the unstoppable Australians who cruised through to two race wins. This proved their dominance in the ten race series.
