PRESS RELEASE - 13 AUGUST 2012
ITALY BACK IN CHARGE AT 2012 470 JUNIOR EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS
All change at the top of the leaderboard in the 470 Men/Mixed event on the concluding day of the six race qualification series. Kevin Peponnet/Baptiste Berthier (FRA) have dropped from first to third on the leaderboard and passed the leader’s baton across to Simon Sivitz Kosuta/Jas Farneti (ITA), but only just. Day 3 ends on another tiebreak situation, with the Italians on equal points with Alex and George Kavas (GRE) and carrying the tiebreak advantage.
In the 470 Women fleet, two race wins from Maëlenn Lemaître/Aloïse Retornaz (FRA) pushes them up into third overall and closing the points gap to the leaders, Poland’s Ewa Szczesna/Irmina Mrozek Gliszczynska.
Lake Garda's thermal wind delivered another perfect race day of 18-20 knots. The discard came into play after race 5, so lots of subsequent shuffling up and down the leaderboard.

470 Men/Mixed
The 470 Men yellow fleet took to the track first with series leaders going into the day, Kevin Peponnet/Baptiste Berthier (FRA), facing some stiff competition as the fleets were again re-seeded based on their leaderboard position from yesterday.
One of the teams giving the French a run for their money were Antonios Tsimboukelis/Alexandros Triantafyllos Bakatsias (GRE), who paced the French on the first downwind leg, with Matthew Crawford/Robert Crawford (AUS) just behind. But ultimately, none of these three could hold their line or pace and the yellow fleet race 5 win went to Clément Ikhlef/Clément Pequin (FRA).
Disappointment for Australia’s Crawford brothers, Matthew and Robert, who finished the race in 17th, which will not help their target of a podium finish here and gives the pair some big hoops to jump through to climb back up. “It was a tough first race, we went the wrong way and then just went backwards from there,” said Robert. “We were second at one point, but then went the wrong way in the second upwind and made a few mistakes downwind and then you are at the back door in this fleet.”
In the blue fleet, Simon Sivitz Kosuta/Jas Farneti (ITA), the top-ranked team competing, and Alex and George Kavas (GRE) came head to head. The two teams were leading up the first upwind and attacking each other. Downwind and the Italians rounded the gate ahead, with the Greeks choosing the left mark, and the Italians going right to hit the favoured side and take control upwind. Into the second loop and the Italians extended and just kept on going to take the win.Onto race 6, the final race of the qualification series which would determine the gold and silver fleet cut, and the breeze increased to around 20 knots.
In the yellow fleet, Great Britain’s Mike Wood/Hugh Brayshaw were the team to catch, with Kevin Peponnet/Baptiste Berthier (FRA) in pursuit. These two continued to the finish in the same order.

Spurred on by their earlier win, the Italians Sivitz Kosuta/Farneti were entirely focussed on reeling in the Greek team’s advantage from the discard in race 5 which put the Kavas brothers first on the leaderboard. The Italians pulled some inspiring sailing, led to the first mark and generated more than a 500 metre lead at the finish – ensuring the Greeks had no chance to catch up.
“Yeh, we did two very good starts and we were first in the first part of the race and then we just covered. In Garda, in the upwind the wind comes to the first and then the others, so the distance to the second boat was big,” said Sivitz Kosuta. Farneti added, “On the lake if you have a good start that is half the race.”
Commenting on the Greek challenge, Sivitz Kosuta continued, “It is going to be exciting in the gold fleet, they are very fast.” The Italians have been competing together for seven years and are good friends, not just sailing partners. When not racing, Sivitz Kosuta is studying architecture and has just completed the first year of his degree.
Looking ahead to a possible Olympic campaign, Sivitz Kosuta said, “After the Junior Europeans we will see what we do for the next four years. There are a lot of good guys from Italy and I don’t know what they will do. I don’t know, we will see.”
A taste of front of the fleet 470 racing was experienced by Spain’s Jordi Xammar/Joan Herp today, with a third in race five. The pair have been at the top of their game in the 420 Class, winning the 420 boys’ event at the ISAF Youth Worlds in 2010 and Xammar won again in 2011 with a different crew. They finished 9th at last year’s 420 Junior Europeans and fourth at the 2011 420 Worlds, and the pair are now making what is Xammar’s second appearance at a major 470 Championship, so they are the new kids on the 470 block.
Expectations are realistic, as Xammar explained, “It was good racing today. It is not really too tactical a course. Here in Garda it is speed and manoeuvring. I have found the level to be much higher than I thought. We weren’t too sure how we were going to do. We are happy because we have only sailed a 470 together for 15 days together here.”

The seventy-nine boat 470 Men/Mixed teams have now been allocated to gold and silver fleets of 35 and 34 boats respectively for the six race final series which gets underway on Wednesday 15 August 2012.
470 Men/Mixed – Provisional Top 10 Overall after 6 Races
1. Simon SIVITZ KOSUTA/Jas FARNETI – 10 pts
2. Alexander KAVAS/George KAVAS – 10 pts
3. Kevin PEPONNET/Baptiste BERTHIER – 12 pts
4. Magnus MASILGE/Moritz KLINGENBERG (GER) – 15 pts
5. Mike WOOD/Hugh BRAYSHAW (GBR) – 24 pts
6. Clément IKHLEF/Clément PEQUIN (FRA) – 25 pts
7. Francesco FALCETELLI/Gabriele FRANCIOLII (ITA) – 31 pts
8. Dan FROYLICHE/Yoav LEVI (ISR) – 32 pts
9. Benjamin BILDSTEIN/David HUSSL (AUT) – 34 pts
10. Jan-Philipp HOFMANN/Paul KÜBEL (GER) – 35 pts
470 Women
After an overnight repair to the mast gate which almost knocked them out of race 4 yesterday and Annika Bochmann/Elisabeth Panushcka (GER) were raring to go again today, but so were the rest of the fleet.
Stylish and clean racing from the 2012 420 World Champions, Roberta Caputo/Giulia Paolillo (ITA), gave them the upwind advantage as they raced the outer loop, but Maëlenn Lemaître/Aloïse Retornaz (FRA) had faster pace and took the win, with the Italians behind. Onto race 6 and it was a repeat performance from the French, which moved them up to third overall.
“We had good starts and so it was easier for the rest of the race. Our speed was great to it was easier to control the fleet,” commented Retornaz.
Their worst so far, but a great day by anyone’s standards for Ewa Szczesna/Irmina Mrozek Gliszczynska (POL), who posted a 3, 5 and continue to lead overall. “There were a lot of shifts today and we couldn’t feel the wind so well as yesterday. It wasn’t so great a day but we are still first so it is OK,” smiled Szczesna.
The secret to their leap in performance since last year has been the 2012 Olympics. “Since September we have trained really hard, because we thought maybe we could go to the Olympic Games,” said Szczesna, smiling,“Maybe!” The pair are coached by Tomasz Jakubiak, who represented Poland in the 470 Men at the 2000 and 2004 Olympics.

As it turned out, another Polish team secured Poland’s Olympic berth at the 2021 470 Worlds, with Szczesna/ Gliszczynska winning the 470 Women silver fleet. “I think we will continue for Rio 2016,” concluded Szczesna.
Moving on up after today’s 4, 6 scorecard are Anna Burnet/Flora Stewart (GBR), but the pair are oblivious to their overall placing. Disappointment with their first day of racing left them avoiding the results noticeboard. “We messed up our first day and we didn’t think there was any point looking at it as we already knew we had to do a lot better. We decided there was no point looking until you get to the stage where you need to start looking at the people around you. We just need to sail our own race,” said Stewart. The pair finished in sixth at the 470 Europeans in Scotland last month, so have capacity to up their game in the final three days.
470 Women – Provisional Top 10 Overall after 6 Races
1. Ewa SZCZESNA/Irmina MROZEK GLISZCZYNSKA (POL) – 9 pts
2. Annika BOCHMANN/Elisabeth PANUSCHKA (GER) – 12 pts

470 Junior European - Day 2
Fonte: 470.org
PRESS RELEASE - 12 AUGUST 2012
FRANCE AND POLAND CLAIM TOP SLOTS AT 2012 470 JUNIOR EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS
A breeze race course for day 2 at the 2012 470 Junior European Championships as the local “Ora” shook itself over Lake Garda. Two races were held for all fleets, with two new teams moving into the top three in the 470 Men fleet and the same teams, but a different order, in the 470 Women.
A steady wind of 20-25 knots settled in across the course area and remained throughout racing.
470 Men
Up first on the race course were the 470 Men yellow fleet, with Kevin Peponnet/Baptiste Berthier (FRA) scoring their second race win of the series, which was matched by Italy’s Simon Sivitz Kosuta/Jas Farneti in the blue fleet. It was advantage to the Italians at this stage, by one point, with the French in second overall.

“The day started really well when we won the first race,” said Sivitz Kosuta, “and then in the second the French guys did a very good race and we didn’t have a good start. After the start we were last in the fleet, but managed to get up to ninth position in the race. It was very hard and we just did our maximum.”
“I think that in the Junior European Championships there are some great teams. Peponnet with his new crew is very good and so are the Greek guys. I have known the Greeks since I was young and they are very, very good.”
Leaders from day 1, Floris van de Werken/Laurens van de Werken (NED) were not so fast around the track, posting a 15 in the opening race of the yellow, which dropped them back down to eighth on the leaderboard. They followed up with a 17th in race 4.
Floris put their race performance down to one thing, the start, saying, “We had bad starts and we couldn’t go to the right because there were boats above us, so that was a problem. We had to tack to the left to get free wind. It is not going to work when you get bad starts, and it was then the same for race four. We were not focussed enough today. I hope tomorrow will be better.”
Onto race 4 in the yellow fleet and Magnus Masilge/Moritz Klingenberg (GER) took the race win, with Peponnet/Berthier finishing second, more than enough to push the French team into the overall lead.
In the blue fleet, Clément Ikhlef/Clément Pequin (FRA) delivered a steady improvement, compared to yesterday which gave them a race 4 win to wrap up their day, closely chased by the Greek brothers, Alex and George Kavas in second, with the Italians back in ninth.

At the end of day 2, Kevin Peponnet/Baptiste Berthier move up to claim the leader’s yellow jersey, Simon Sivitz Kosuta/Jas Farneti are in second and the Kavas brothers in third.
The Kavas brothers won the gold medal at the 420 Worlds in Austria a week ago, drove overnight to Italy and were on the water the next day training for their assault on the 470 Junior Europeans podium places. Younger brother Alex is pleased with their performance so far, but recognizes they need to pack on some kilos, saying, “For us it is very good. Our weight is a little bit low for the 470, next year will be easier.”
470 Men – Top 10 Overall after 4 Races
1. Kevin PEPONNET/Baptiste BERTHIER – 11 pts
2. Simon SIVITZ KOSUTA/Jas FARNETI – 17 pts
3. Alexander KAVAS/George KAVAS – 18 pts

9. Antonis TSIMBOUKELIS/Alexandros BAKAT (GRE) – 29 pts
10. Pablo VÖLKER/Agustín CUNILL MARTINEZ – 29 pts
470 Women
Annika Bochmann/Elisabeth Panuschka (GER) won race 3 today by the entire final reaching leg to the finish. France’s Maëlenn Lemaître/Aloïse Retornaz were next, with the overnight leaders Ewa Szczesna/Irmina Mrozek Gliszczynska (POL) in third.
“We were third after the start and at the top mark were first, but literally boat behind boat. We then had a very good manoeuvre setting the spinnaker and then had a significant distance. For us today’s conditions were great,” said Panuschka.

All was not quite so happy in their camp for race 4, with a closely averted disaster in the first downwind leg. The block which supports the mast gate ripped off the boat, and it was only when crew Panuschka asked Bochmann to put on more kicker, that they looked up at the mainsail and realized what had happened. A hasty temporary repair kept the mast up for the rest of the race, but not without pushing the pair out of first place to end race 4 in third.
Relieved to have made it through the race, Bochmann said, “It was in the first upwind leg. We were near to the first mark and we saw it and in the downwind we had to think about what we were going to do. We had an idea how to fix it and it was good enough for the next two upwinds, but not perfect. We were not happy.” Panuschka added, “Lucky for us, it happened in the second race and not the first one because this really impacted the shape of the sail.”
The German’s setback gave the opening for Ewa Szczesna/Irmina Mrozek Gliszczynska to again dominate the pack and claim their third race win. The British pair of Anna Burnet/Flora Stewart crossed the line in second.

Day 2 ends with no change in the top three overall, just a swap in positions as Bochmann/Panuschka move up to second, Freeman/Tomsett go down to third and Szczesna/Mrozek Gliszczynska remain in first overall.
