The best results so far in the DHL trophy have been 4th place so far this year. In the ten races of the fleet race they were able to achieve 8 place. Individual results were divided into two on sixth place with the Spanish professional troop with Jose Maria Ponce and the New Zealand young star Adam Minoprio lead by the Chinese newcomer team Jelek. Minoprio is number three in the match race ranking. „ A few teams are better than expected in the race series. We ware slowly improving.” Says Christian Binder who shares the maneuver and tactics with Rene Msangold. The Austrian´s performance was shown by a collective training with the Dutch professional troop No Way Back. “Skipper Ray Davies invited us to the spar in Portoroz beginning of September”, says Binder and adds “it is a great honor, after all Ray is part of the successful America´s Cup´s syndicated in New Zealand.” How good Davies really is, we could see before Malcesine with the winning of the DHL trophy.
