The Tornado, the wakeboard and Mr. Strauss

How powerful is the Tornado catamaran in light winds ? On June 14, 2011, current World Champions Nahid and Roland Gaebler met with a wakeboarder at the Olympic port of Kiel-Schilksee. Although the winds were just around 2-3 Bft., www.teamgaebler.de was easily able to pull the wakeboarder behind, at least as the wind didnt die completely. Report in German, see http://segelreporter.com/2011/06/16/gaeblers-bringen-mit-tornado-wakeboarder-... . Kudos to non--profit organisation "Kiel Sailing City" for their rib assistance, and to the Columbia Orchestra for their 2000 interpretation of Johann Strauss waltz "Wiener Blut". Technical: Gopro Hero, 1080x1920, 30p, Sony Vegas 10, render as wmv 8mbit to 1440x1080, get 300 mb for 4:45min.
