There was a quite strong wind, 5 to 6 bft, but it came all the way from the land, so we only felt like 1 or 2 bft. This had a logical result: the lightest people and those with the largest sails (5,5 square meters) were in the best position! Unfortunately, I don’t apply for neither of those conditions. That’s the main reason why my races kind of sucked (yep, not only the wind did!). Anyway, I got 7th out of 15 in my class and 7th out of 20 in my poule. In the overall results (for what it’s worth), I got the 22nd place, out of a total of 62 participants.
Disregarded the lack of wind (and results), I would like to thank everyone who participated. Also, a special thank goes to the organisation of catering, logistics ect and of course the race officer (my father).
17 = a prime number, an Einstein prime, a Fermat prime ánd a Proth prime
17 = the most chance to get as result from rand()
17 = the age where you can get your theoretical drivers licence here in Belgium
Next to the regular schoolwork, we’ll have to make a thesis, set up a so called “College Company” for economics, prepare - and celebrate - Chrysostomos (last 100 days at school), …
I’m just back from La Franqui (Leucate, Aude, France), where I’ve done some Blokarting for about 8 days, with my father.
Some numbers:
* total distance: over 1,000 kilometers
* time sailed: about 40 hrs
* maximum speed of 79.8 km/hr.
* flat tires: 4 (1 for me, 3 for my father )
* a dozen of 360’s
It was really wonderful. Sometimes there was no wind, but when the Tramontane came, it was good for 7 to 8 bft.
So if you’d ever need wind and a hard surface, La Franqui will do it
