Q&A with Amado Vrieswijk

First impressions of the sailing conditions: " Cold "
The Feeling to Wind foil in Lake Neusiedl: " The same as on the ocean. "
Competitions: " It was fun and I enjoyed the first 2 heats in my first Hydro foiling competition."
Tonight: " I am going to bed early as we have an early start for the Slalom races tomorrow."

Tomorrow: "I look forward to compete in the slalom races, it will be my first time racing in Austria and I will give my best. I have competed on several IFCA events before, but its always interesting with the Class Racing Rules."

Tomorrow skippers meeting is scheduled for 07:30, an early start for the slalom competitors with better winds predicted for the first few hours of the second competition day.
