Austrian Musto Skiff Nationals
On September 6 / 7th, 2008 the 1st. Austrian
Musto SKiff Nationals has been held at Lake Attersee
and organized by the Austrian Musto Skiff Class Federation
www.mustoskiff.at
and Sailing club Attersee www.scatt.at
. Due to great effort and development work we had a
total of 12 MPS Sailors (8. Austrian. 3 German and 1
Slovenian) that join this event which twice that much
compared to the year 2007!
On Saturday morning Lake Attersee provided
us with a clear sky, eastern light winds of 2 Bft called
“Rose Wind” Could be a little more. We had great up
and down 4 races hardly trapezing. At the evening all
sailing has been invited for a great dinner.
On Sunday we expected the same weather
condition, but the weather god made the decision for
a western wind condition with a few clouds. At least
it was dry. The wind start to shift around so the judges
had a hard time get the course ready.
From the sailing wise the Nationals started
to develop as a match between our local matador Martin
Mayrhofer (he turned 24 place at the world championship
lake silverplana) and Mitja Margon from Slovenia. At
the end with equal points our guest Mitja did win this
event followed by Martin. A small comfort for Martin
as the 1st Austrian champion ever followed by our german
guests Christian Häring und Markus Mühlbauer.
Quite interesting was the family battle
between Günther Zieher and his son Moritz. Moritz
(15 year old young gun) made 5th place overall with
one point in front of Günther. In the Austrian
ranking he ended up 2nd at the Austrian Nationals. Typical
comment from Günther:“ It was time that my son
did better than me after I did invest so much in him
?”
Quit unlike was this event for the Worlds
Participants at Lake Silverplana. Gerald Richtarski
had to quit the 4th race due to collision with a fault
of a contender sailor. He was unable to strike this
race. Felix Luchterhand was the superior leader with
150 m to the 2nd boat in the the 5 th race which was
fired up due to the lake of wind on the last down winder.
It was a great Regatta-Weekend in fast
growing class. At this weekend 4 new prospects test
the interesting Musto Performance Skiff with our local
MPS Dealer. One prospect decided to join the class in
2009 and the decision to buy an MPS! The Austrian Class
Federation is in the process to discuss next year MPS
events.
Beside the Austrian Nationals two more
Racing events and a spring training are scheduled for
2009 in Austria.
