The club congratulates our club members Alex and Marco, who came back from the Atomiade 2009 with a silver medal in sailing.
Ten teams from various European research institutes competed on lake Unterhavel (close to Berlin) during the week-end June 13th and 14th. The boats, "Gruben Sprint" (dinghies of 160 Kg of weigth and 14 sq meters of main sail), were provided by the organizer. This provided for some rough sailing on the first day with gusts up to 6 beaufort.
Overall 6 YCC members participated, Alex, Jamie, Marco, Michel, Nick, Peter, who reported having a very enjoyable time and arrived 2nd, 6th and 7th at the regattas.
