 How do the protagonists of this 2011 Worlds live these passionate days of fight and competitiveness? Until the 3rd of May, two hundred and thirty men will have to face days full of tension and hope, expectations and delusions, great enthusiasm and dejection.The Photographer Jesus Renedo will immortalize all these unique moments in some video interviews that it will be possible to watch on the International Site of Platu 25. Today, waiting the wind that didn’t come, Jesus Renedo met two of the most competitive skipper s of these Worlds
The first one is Mathias Bermejo, the Swiss “Superbüsi” skipper who leads a young and talented team. The members of the crew grew up sailing on their lake, in Luzern and they got used to fickle wind. “Superbüsi-Like a Vergin” managed very well in the last months. They have shown their state of grace during the First Act of the Alpen Cup in Malcesine, Lake of Garda: they won the first day of races and arrived second in the final ranking. In Ebensee, in the Second Act of the Alpen Cup they conquered the sixth place. So, it’s a boat to keep under observation. With Mathias - - Bermejo, the “Superbüsi” team was created three years ago and it is formed by Erich Buholzer at main sail, Dave Erismann at the Spi, Markus Rindlisbacher at the Piano and Roland Kunz as a tactician.

The other one is Thomas Laherstorfer, who leads “La Burra”, a very competitive boat that won three editions of the Alpencup (2007, 2008 and 2010) and keeps the top of the Austrian Platu 25 ranking list for 5 consecutive years. Thomas Laherstorfer, 37 years young; owner of the boat and skipper; is a very expert sailor. He has been regatta sailing for more than 25 years on Laser, Trias, Starboot, Dragon and Platu 25. The ”La Burra” team is composed of Oliver Hartl, genoa trimmer and beertender; Daniel Knauer: bowman, Toni Berner:at spinnaker and pit. And Peter Steinkogler, 47 years old, tactitian, the ace in the hole. All the rest is in the interview on http://www.youtube.com/user/platu25intl?
