For the end of the year, congratulations to Pierre Milutin, who broke his own previous unoffical GPS speed record in Croatian waters!

Day after Christmas, on strong jugo wind (SE), in Jadrtovac (middle Dalmatia, near Šibenik) with Mistral Speed 55, Loft Blade 5,6 and Raven 28/CLweed 26, Pierre did the following:

Congratulations to Pierre on two Croatian records - 2 sec 5/10 average, and we expect from him even more in new year!

Great session on jugo (SE) wind also in the northen part of Adriatic: Vladan Desnica, Soline (Slovenian and Croatian border).

39,052 KTs max peak, 35,761 KTs average 5/10, 34,038 KTs 500 met run - not easy to acheive on chop! Congrats to Vladan!
