Way ahead of plans, we have entered the top 30 in the world. Thanks to
all my crew and my family. Jure Orel 02.02.2007
| REASON & IDEA
|
|
After several very successful seasons of racing in open
and monotype
sailing classes in north Adriatic, an urge for fresh challenges emerged. Question: How to
try to compete with world's best sailors in keel-boat racing, without enormous
costs (buying, transporting, maintaining and upgrading an expensive
sailboat)?
Answer: Match-race.
Racing other sailors using the same "weapon", where talent, experience and
team-work are the decisive factors. Input: time, training, travel costs, modest
entry fees. |

| ACHIEVEMENTS
|
|
|
During 2004 season, when just entering the world of match
racing, we attended only three regattas. The objective to evaluate our own
capabilities and potential range in this specific form of sailing was achieved.
But season 2005 was already more
productive. We competed in eight international match races around Europe. At
most of the events our results exceeded our expectations, so we completed the
year (after competing for just a season and a half) situated at 95th place on
the ISAF match race ranking, with 1400 listed active crews. Because
the goals for 2005 were to attend as many races as possible and accumulate new
experience, this was certainly achieved, especially since our silent wish to
finish in the top hundred on ISAF MR ranking was granted (obtained by our
effort).
Our thoughts were focused on the future, the rank of races was progressing, and we
were determined to try and ascend (with a lot of training and invested effort)
into the top fifty crews in the world by the end of 2006 season. Maybe
all did not go as planed at some individual events, but it's a learning curve.
Anyhow, the overall result (39th in December 2006) was exceptional, and a great
foundation for or further involvement in match racing.

| GOALS
|
|
|
We are in the top forty in the world at the moment and a new
season is here. The rank of events that we compete in is still progressing,
competition is getting stronger, and progressing up the ranking list is tougher
with each higher place. Since we
are remaining an unprofessional team, even defending our place in this elite
company demands a lot of effort, skills and enthusiasm. But goals should be set
high, therefore we will try to get up to the top thirty on ISAF ranking list.
And when the season ends it will be time to consider the future. |
