6/16/2005 -- Bénéteau Oceanis 321 "4 YOU 2" is overall winner of the International Rosen-Regatta in northern Germany.

Skipper Wolfgang Castell chose the Parasailor² as downwind sail.

Three times 1st to finish
On the challenging runs from Flensburg, over Faborg, Kappeln and Eckernförde to Kiel, the "4 YOU 2" managed to beat the other 21, mostly bigger, competitors and impressively took the trophy with a series of 1-(8)-1-5-4-1-2 in winds between 1 and 8 Bft.

Can be sailed unbelievably close to the wind...
Wolfgang Castell states that not in the least place the Parasailor² contributed to his succes: "It astonished me ánd the competition how the Parasailor² could be sailed in normally impossible conditions. This was possible because the Parasailor² could be flown very close to the wind, as close as a Code 0. Of course some competitors tried to do the same with their spinnakers, with the result that we only saw 'hourglasses' and broaches around us, before all other Spinnakers were taken down."

Congratulations
We would like to congratulate the "4 YOU 2" with their fantastic result!
