Latest from Krystal April 2011

Over the past few weeks I have been training down in Hyeres, France with Sam Meech (NZL), then traveled across to Athens to meet up with Gelly for a formula windsurf event and my first trip to Greece. After some quick touring around the Acropolsis I was back on the plane down to Hyeres. Training begins tomorrow and racing begins on the 24th April. http://sof.ffvoile.net...

Ups and Downs in Palma

Overall a very tricky regatta. During the event I proved that I am up there mixing it up with the top girls, as I had two first place mark roundings and finished 3rd, and two fifths during the regatta. This is not a bad start to my European season. I have to say I was a little disappointed with my 22nd finishing place. The last day proved to be an important turning point in the regatta for me as I went into the day sitting in 9th. A yellow flag and a incident with another boat was the deciding factor. A big congratulations goes to Sara Winther NZL for winning the event. I am now heading to Hyeres, France for some training before heading back to Australia...

Day One 5th & 3rd Palma ISAF Grade One

Yesterday was a fun day on the water, it was 20+knots with 30knot gusts runnning down the course. We all arrived down the boat park at 9am, I began rigging up with my ipod on. Soon I looked up to see no one else pulling their cover off, not long after I was following suit putting my cover back on my boat and heading upstairs to relax with a coffee. The laser class had decided that we were all going to wait onshore, no flags, no race commitee decisions. We just enjoyed watching the RSX launch and go flying through the air, 470 blasting along the horizon. Soon it was our go, we all launch off the sandblasting beach. I was the last start of the day,...

Arrival into Palma Spain

Hi All, I have arrived into Palma Mallorca after an eventful trip over to Europe. The first part of the trip Melbourne – Singapore ran without a glitch. The plane was late to leave Singapore which meant we missed our timeslot over the top of Afganistan so we had to divert adding an extra 2hrs to our flight. This materialized into a missed flight to Barcelona, missed flight to Palma meaning my bags didn’t make the trip down for three days and a 100 euro change of flight fee to Palma which I have to say was a little painful. The end result is I made it to Palma. The next logistical event was the arrival of my laser from Weymonth. My boat has been stored up...

Krystal finishes 2nd at Clearwater Mid-Winters East 2011

Krystal finished 2nd to Paige Railey (USA) and third was Juan (PUR). We had a great event, with 8 races in four days. It was a tricky event with over 100 radial competitors. The race committee and organisers did a fantastic job of organising over 200 competitors, full rigs + 4.7 sailors. We had a range of light variable winds off the land and from the seabreeze direction. We had an exciting last race with the race committee just sending us off in time before the last possible start time of 2pm. It was sudden death with the black flag being hoisted straight away. I had accumulated a very small buffer from the tight lineup of competitors behind me. It was important for me to just keep...
