16th Sailing Week of Schoelcher - Day three - Only one race...
Yesterday the wind was very light and turn. 6 to 11 knots.
The race committee tries to do 2 races in this condition but only one was valid.
First race :
The fight in front was between Brian who used the 10.7, Patrice 12m and Patrick with his 11.7. At the end Brian was leading the course but forget to see the modification for the short course so he don't go to the mark one before the finish line, the same for Patrice. Brian repairs his fault but Patrick take his chance and win this race.
Second race :
Patrick and Brian was leading again, very good congratulation of our master 43 years old who can stay near Brian with the good Wojtek suggestion. The race was canceled after one lap.
After 3 races, Gérald Pelleau is in first position.
