Bessanova & Sokolova win 2007 Ladies European Championship

Swedish reflections from Ladies European Championship in Moscow
May 21-27 2007

We arrived to Moscow to evening temperatures of 25-30°C, reportedly all time high for May, wondering why we brought so many fleece jackets!
The morning after we arrived we got our boat for the week, a new Persson Snipe which was included in entry fee, and which we soon found to be a delight to sail.

At the beginning of the regatta we were very confused by the frequent and large shifts in both wind direction and strength, but we soon started to regard these conditions as what we in Sweden call a “smorgasbord” of possibilities.
For this reason the expression “it ain’t over ‘til it’s over” has got a new implication for us, not the least as our final placing in the regatta were settled by the finding of a small gust the last 25 meters of the 7th and last race.
In spite of the shifting conditions, the race committee succeeded in providing very good courses.
The atmosphere on the race course were good, as was the case ashore.We felt very welcomed and were very well taken care of.
By the flexible service from the Moscow Sailing School we had several opportunities to explore the city of Moscow, which we from these few days found to be a very fascinating city.
To add the finishing touch, the regatta was completed with a fantastic regatta party with lots of champagne!
