The pictures on www.engadinwind.com are pretty cool. B)

What a weird venue! The lake looks frigid, and with those giant mountains all around it's funny that the wind isn't blocked. Is there some kind of thermal wind, or wind-tunnel effect there like at the Gorge?

Formula seems like the perfect class for elite racing (regional, national, professional, Olympic), because of the way it combines super-fast sailing with tactical courses.
