Tom Burton (AUS) has won Olympic gold in the Men's One Person Dinghy after a tense pre-start battle with Tonci Stipanović (CRO). Even if Stipanović let gold slip from his grasp, he has still won Croatia's first ever medal in Olympic sailing. Sam Meech (NZL) took bronze. With the Australian being the only sailor who could threaten Croatian gold, Stipanović engaged Burton in an aggressive duel before the start. However the match racing tactic backfired as the Australian turned the tables on his rival, with Stipanović given a 360 degree penalty by the jury for failing to keep clear of Burton. Stipanović was a long way last off the start line and had to play catch-up during the race. Burton was near the back too, and Meech was looking to capitalise on the situation with the New Zealander threatening Australia for the silver. However, Burton moved through the fleet to finish third across the line while Stipanović never recovered from his bad start. Robert Scheidt (BRA) didn't manage to win a record sixth Olympic sailing medal in front his home crowd, but he still gave the spectators on Flamengo Beach something to cheer about as the Brazilian legend sailed across the finish in first place.

Where can you eat cactus burger? In Guatiza, north of Lanzarote, there is cactus garden with more than 1000 species of cactuses. SUBSCRIBE NOW! - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC23PA_upiMig85UVSPfkidg It is easy to recognize from the road, because of the huge metal cactus at the entrance. This garden is the last work of Caesar Manrique on this island. The tourists here can enjoy the nature itself, and the calmness of the path decorated with rocks where you can walk, and enjoy the beauty of Lanzarote. One of the key elements of Caesar Manrique’s architectural work is respecting the nature. It can be seen in the cactus garden, which fits perfectly in the island’s landscape. The windmill overtowers the black rock and is one of the best places to give us a wonderful view of the of the garden which was built in amphitheater shape. During the visit we can relax by the small lake in the garden, or drink a refreshment, and eat a cactus burger in the cafeteria. The KUNDALINI SAILING TEAM starts from here to conquer the Canary Islands. Travel with us and live the KUNDALINI feeling. THE STORY ¯̅¯̅¯̅¯̅¯̅¯̅¯̅¯̅¯̅ My affection for sailing started when I was a child. Once, when I was on holiday at Lake Balaton, near to Fonyod city, I glanced a slim and beautiful sailing boat emerging from behind the reeds. It was love at first sight! Unfortunately, as I grown up in the Great Plain of Hungary, I could not get near to sailing. Because of that, I was just staring at boats through my father’s binoculars, sitting on the shore during my holidays. It was a classic, heavy, black, Russian binocular. I was just walking around the boats in the harbour, looking at them, and making dreams. I managed to get close to shipping in 2006. At that time I settled down with a 25 foot sailboat in the harbour of Balatonaliga. I have been dealing with shipping since that time. The usual inland adventures came after that: circling around Lake Balaton many times and mostly alone. Later Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, Spain and France followed, and I even managed to sail in Norway, for two weeks. At the beginnings, I used to try to partner up with others. I kept my eyes open, made observations and learnt a lot. We used to participate in competitions at the Adriatic Sea, but all of these were not enough – maybe it is not the best word here – for me. Somehow it was not a complete thing… I wanted to sail alone… alone and a lot. Then some years alone came on the Mediterranean Sea. That was an amazing period in my life. I crossed the ocean two times. I went to the Caribbean, the Far East, and so on. I visited these places alone in most cases. It became clear to me that I must deal with sailing… I had to find a boat suitable for taking a journey around the world, which has a higher comfort level compared to those ones I used before. I used to cross the ocean by a boat in which did not even have a bed … I slept on a large backwind sail. I know life is not easy. I could be at home, watching TV programs broadcasted by National Geographic or travel channels. That would be safe, but I prefer to face challenges of everyday life: I make things fixed, I do sewing, cooking, fishing and I am ready to stay up at night, to be soaked by rain and so on. I want to be here … where everything is so different. This way is everything is so fine and complete for me. Soon I will reach the 30,000th marine mile. I found Kundalini in March of 2017. In April, I arrived with four suitcases (three of which contained tools) with my friend, Tomi on board and together we started performing those endless tasks, which have already been listed by that time. There is no part of the boat which would not have been polished, cut, replaced or painted in the five months. I know the boat well! 1st of September – almost ready to start the journey! 9th of September – my girlfriend and I left Athen by the Kundalini (BLOG). Journey has started! We reached Gibraltar through Greek, Albanian, Italian, French and Spanish waters and sailed to the ocean. I am writing these lines in the port of Guadaloupe, Terre de Haut city. There is a great deal of memory of adventure, landscape, taste and experience behind our backs. I feel that I have managed to build a boat which I was always craving for. Travel with us and live the KUNDALINI feeling.
