Thanks to the University of Canberra a PhD scholarship opportunity to be involved in an important piece of work with the Australian Sailing Team is now on offer.
Aussie Breiana Whitehead has capped off a magnificent week at the Formula Kite World Championships finishing seventh after a rollercoaster Semi Final series.
Thursday’s racing at the 2022 Formula Kite Worlds gave the 150+ athletes their first tase of Cagliari’s tricky north-westerly offshore breeze. The fading wind was made even more challenging for the racers with the buildings lining the coastline, with the race committee ending up sending the men away for two races and the women just the one.
Day one of the Formula Kite World Championships started with a slight delay and light winds, until around lunch when the wind switched on and developed into nice Scirocco of around 13 knots. The planned races for all male and female fleets were completed with winds continuing to build as the day progressed.
Australia’s Breiana Whitehead remains firmly in the hunt for a medal at the 2022 Lepanto Formula Kite European Championships entering tomorrow’s Semi Final series in sixth place
