Crozon Morgat PWA Tag 2
Kein Wind, keine Wellen.
Der zweite Tag des Crozon Morgat PWA World Cup verlief sehr ruhig. Nach dem morgendlichen Check der Bedingungen und der Wettervorhersage wurden die Teilnehmer bereits am Vormittag für den Tag entlassen. Am Abend fand die offizielle Eröffnungsfeier statt. Implications for the title race in the event of no wind in France. With not much happening prior to the opening ceremony we decided to take a look at the implications for the title race in case of no result being obtained here. Men’s Philip Köster (Starboard / Severne / Maui Ultra Fins) and Victor Fernandez (Fanatic / North / MFC) are currently tied on points, but if no result were to be gained here then all the pressure would be transferred onto Fernandez, whilst Köster would enter Maui with one-hand on the world championship already. In order to overturn Köster’s lead the Spaniard only has one possibility, which is the huge task of winning the NoveNove Maui Aloha Classic. Any other result would see the twenty-one year old crowned the PWA Wave World Champion for the third time in his career. Women’s The women’s title race would see an exact replica to last year’s showdown. Just like in 2014 Daida Moreno (Starboard / Severne / Maui Ultra Fins) has won both of the opening two events and holds control of the title race, ahead of her sister and reigning world champion — Iballa Moreno (Starboard / Severne / Maui Ultra Fins) in second. A third place finish or better would guarantee Daida the title, but as last year proved anything can happen. For Iballa to retain her world crown she would need the following scenarios: If Daida were to finish 4th — Iballa would need to win the NoveNove Maui Aloha Classic If Daida were to finish 5th — Iballa would need to finish 2nd or better If Daida were to finish 6th — Iballa would need to finish 3rd or better etc The forecast looks as though the competitors will remain on hold again tomorrow with the swell expected to remain small. The skippers’ meeting will be held at 10:30am tomorrow morning followed by autograph session at 11am. If the conditions aren’t suitable for competition then there will also be an opportunity for the sailors to try their hand at foiling between 12pm-5pm — followed by a presentation of the Fanatic / North, Starboard / Severne and Soöruz teams on the main stage between 5pm and 6pm.
