PWA Alacati

Hi

The Alacati event is well underway with the usual suspects at the front of the field.  The first three places in each of the winners finals so far are as follows:

Race 1                  Vd Steen
                             Dunkerbeck
                             Albeau

Race 2                  Albeau
                             Buzainis
                             Frans

Race 3                  Albeau
                             Vd Steen
                            Menegatti

Race 4                 Volwater
                            Vd Steen
                            Williams

Race 5                 Albeau
                            Vd Steen
                            Toselli

Race 6                 Albeau
                           Williams
                           Dunkerbeck

Points to note are Peter Volwater's great run in the 4th race and the fact that Ross Williams is making his presence felt.  Also, Taty Frans is causing some alarm.  Watch this guy if he decides to stay with slalom.   Bear in mind that the above heats are the culmination of all of the eliminating heats and just to get into them is the mark of a slalom master.
If you click on "Elimination 4 Mens Final" on the PWA TV section of the PWA site you can see the Volwater bullet on video.  Nice race and those of you keen on the Manta 71, watch Ross hold his own against the world's best (he is on the 71 and 7.9m Vapor.  Peter is on his Falcon 113 and Avanti 7.7m)  Ross comes in third after being pipped at the very end by Ben.
 

The standard of sailing at Alacati is off the chart.
