Julian Novak, GONG ambassador, took the win in the U-19 category of the Course de L’Atlantique Le Télégramme E. Leclerc in Brittany!

This unmissable event for sailing enthusiasts in Brittany, took place last weekend and was once again a massive reunion of every possible way you can participate to a regatta. High-tech Imocas, sailing dinghies, catamarans but also windsurfers, kite foilers and now wing foilers, all disciplines were in the spotlight and widely represented.

Wing foiler: Julien Novak, GONG ambassador, with the Neutra RH and Lethal FSP Pro.

In the wing foil category, Julian Novak, 16 years old, finished first youngster after 7 rounds and fourth overall. He looks back on his weekend:

“The event was supposed to take place over 2 days but due to the dead calm conditions on day one, everything was decided on Sunday. The race committee launched 7 races in a row over 3 hours of time. The wind was blowing at 15 knots and was expected to pick up to 25 knots, which it sure did. I started the first round with my Lethal 4’4, an HM92 mast, a Ypra-S S front wing / Veloce H 36 stab set-up and a Neutra 5m² UPE wing.

It was the perfect kit for the first hour, and I had planned to switch to a Pulse Boom 4m² wing with a Ypra-S XS. But as it turned out we weren’t allowed to return to the beach to change equipment. Apparently, quite a few competitors have changed equipment despite this instruction. The last 2 hours of racing were therefore not easy for me with a 5m2 in 25 knots. But overall I was performing pretty well. I felt a very clear progression with the new gear that I used, a pure speed superior to my competitors. I now have to refine my starts and a few parameters, and I will be ready for the 2024 edition!”
