Dunkerbeck on Starboard ?

Hank · 12th August 2008, 01:58 AM

Was just cruising through the pictures on the PWA aite from the event in Turkey, and noticed that Dunkerbeck was using an SB iSonic.

Equipment list is not yet online, but perhaps someone has some info on this ?

Yeah, I noticed that one as well, wondered if he was trying to find out if A2 had an advantage on SB, did notice the Dunks is "smiling", no offence big fella. Also noticed that Jimmy Diaz has switched to SB, I'm not sure if its official, but looks like it!!

My guess is that Diaz is most likely more official than Dunkerbeck, cause Diaz has the SB logo in his sail, whereas Bjorn doesn't.

Just noticed that Dunkerbeck registered an iS111 & iS133. Diaz registered an iS101 & iS122.

Looks like Bjorn just won 2 elimination. Bjorn, Kevin, Antoine :-)

I'm guessing he's borrowed the iS111 & iS133 from Jimmy Diaz new SB quiver for this event only.

They say he is just testing but now he is just winning races. I am sure tommen will rethink his comments in his website now that he know Bjorn is winning in a starboard at least in Med-light wind.

Those iSonics are not from Jimmy Diaz, he got them from Starboard Germany through.

Aaaah OK, that makes sense now & I know the guy he got them from, we had a few beers with him at Weymouth speed week last year. did he get a full set of iS? Will be interesting to see if he stays on SB for the rest of the tour. Wonder if he'll try the new speed specials as well???
