Japan Nationals 2012 (English)

JMCA Japan national championship 2012 was consisted brilliant 7 races at Beach's marina, Lake Hamana in 20-21 Oct.

Day 1 was light breeze, marginal foiling condition means light weight sailor had great advantage. New comer Masa Suzuki won

this race and he showed his potential in following races as well.

RC waited till 3pm for 2nd race though, not enough wind to start, and hoisted AP/A flag.

AS you can imagine, better breeze came after the flag, and unsatisfied mothies out and enjoyed ideal 10-12 knot training for tomorrow.

Day 2 started with 10-12 knots from west, and Hiroki Goto won race 2 followed by Masa and Tatsuya Wakinaga. Breeze built up gradually,

2 more races in the morning won by Tatsu, who is current national title holder.

After lunch break, RC did 3 more races and all the rest, Tatsu dominated by his great speed and skill.

Championship ended Tatsu's victory 2 times in a row. Hiroki was 2nd and Masa was 3rd.

All 13 participants were quite happy with solid 7 races and celebrated winner.

Lake hamana and Beach's marina is definitely best location for foiling moth in Japan.

JMCA appreciated to all the staff and volunteer, to great races and great party.

Perfect condition is promised so next national 2013 will be in here again.
