15 - 16. prosinca 2012. - Šibenik, Hrvatska
Zatvaranje kalendarske IOM sezone je ponovno bilo u Šibeniku. Okupilo se 15 modelara koji su redoviti predstavnici na svim našim regatama, a također smo imali i premijerni nastup Tonka Kuzmanića, svojevremeno srebrenog svjetskog laseraša u juniorskoj konkurenciji. Nadamo se da ćemo ga i dalje viđati na našim regatama, jer sad imamo veliku skupinu vrhunskih jedriličara koja podižu naše regate na vrlo visoku razinu!
Da nije bilo kiše u subotu, moglo bi se reći da je ona bila idealna za jedrenje. Puhalo je jugo koje je bilo na granici između A i B jedara, ali nitko nije htio previše riskirati i svi su se opredjelili za B kombinaciju. Nažalost kiša nije omogućila da i publika vidi atraktivna jedrenja, jer je Šibenska riva bila totalno pusta.
Kao što to obično bude, drugi dan regate je imao totalnu bezvjetricu. Regatno polje se postavljalo na nekoliko različitih pozicija, ali uvijek pred start bi i ono malo vjetra nestalo. Pod takvim uvjetima jedva su se uspješno završila dva jedrenja.
U subotu je Ante Kovačević zasjeo na čelo rezultatske ljestvice, dok je odmah iza njega bio Tonči Stipanović. On je najviše očekivao nedjeljna jedrenja, ali vrijeme jednostavno nije dozvolilo dulji napad na vodeću poziciju. Na kraju je Kovačević ostao na prvom mjestu i po 9. put iz Šibenika otišao s nagradom za prvo mjesto!
Na drugoj poziciji je završio Stipanović (na fotografiji je njegova kluska kolegica Kristina Jakelić, jer je on zbog obaveza morao krenuti odmah nakon završetka jedrenja), a na trećem mjestu je završio Vedran Vesanović it JK Trogir koji je vrhunski odjedrio u subotu, pa je s tada ostvarena 2 prva mjesta osigurao mjesto na postolju ispred Mirka Ukasa koji je imao jednaki broj bodova. Na regati su nastupila i dva juniora, a bolji među njima je bio Paolo Mavričić iz JK Opatija.
Iduće natjecanje je ujedno i prva regata za 2013. a to će biti 7. Rogoznički kup.
December 15th and 16th 2012 - Šibenik, Croatia
Closing of IOM season for 2012. was again in Šibenik. There were 15 sailors that are regular representatives at all of our races, and we also had the premier performance of Tonko Kuzmanić, 2003rd the world's silver in Laser class in junior competition. We are hoping that we will continue to see him on our races, because now we have a great group of elite sailors to raise our races at a very high level!
Because of rain on Saturday, it couldn't be said that was perfect day for sailing. Wind was blowing from south, and was on the border between the A and B rig, but no one wanted to risk too many and tall took B combination. Unfortunately the rain did not allow the audience to see attractive sailing.
As it usually is, the second day of the regatta was totaly windless. Race field was moved on several different positions, but always before the start even that little wind was gone. Under such conditions hardly have successfully completed two races.
On Saturday, Ante Kovačević sat at the head of the results, while behind him was Tonči Stipanović. He was hardly excepted races on Sunday, but weather simply did not allow him a longer attack on the leadership position. In the end, Kovačević remained in first place and ninth time he left from Šibenik with a prize for the first place!
In second place ended Stipanović (in the photograph is his club colleague Kristina Jakelić, because he had to go immediately after the race), and in third place ended Vedran Vesanović from Sailing Club Trogir, who superbly set sail on Saturday, and finished day with 2 first places which are secured him a place on the podium ahead of Mirko Ukas who had the same number of points. On the race also two junior were competed and the better one was Paolo Mavričić from Sailing Club Opatija.
The next event is the first race in 2013. it will be a 7th Rogoznica's Cup.
