It was maybe the first day's revelation of the tournament. La Burra was one of the protagonists of the Platu 25 World Championship first races. The Austrian team started the competition with two second places but yesterday it got a second position and a ninth place.
Today La Burra hasn't had a good day: "We had problems with the boat", said the skipper, Thomas Laherstorfer. "It's a shame because we had a good start on Tuesday. Yesterday we got another second place, but we got also a ninth position. Today, unfortunately, we had these problems and we didn't go so fast. Hopefully, tomorrow it will be a better day."
Laherstorfer has a main goal for the competition: "Falkone and EUZ II Schinosa Villa are better than all of us and they will contest the championship. I think Falkone will win the competition. Our goal is to get third place. We will try to get it, we will give it all. We would like to get at least in the top five but third place would be perfect."
Laherstorfer concludes talking about Brunnen, "The place is beautiful, the lake is wonderful and even the people are very friendly."
