Day 1: sunshine, warm, light wind and wave normal, what it’s needed, maybe 2[kts] and a bit more sparkling wave for the perfection. During the race, the condition were good enough to immortalize the hull and her wave, the elegance of the classic! Froude number docet!
The R.C. has been precise and the start of the big was on time, but not HALLOWE'EN - 2 15m IR, that overshoot the line.

The group on fire at the start is that with P-Class fleet and SCUD BH-12, with Bruno Troublé luffs up MYFANWY 18R to the stall zone, while Torben Grael, followed by Olympic P-14 was running for the pin.
Left the Tofinou class alone to start, we have followed the fleet to the disengage mark, and mean while we have had time to go fishing, fishing of baseball cap, the bowman of ARCADIA III F-4429 has lost it during the tack…

Now the fleet fly in direction of Palm Beach (just before Cannes), while we went back to the port for a break.

Back to the zaffiro-field, we discovered from the R.C. that the wind has gone down a bit so some changes were in place…
The weather it’s still not ok, and the breeze has difficult to fully develop, the clouds on the mountain are in place, however the time to arrive to the mark the pressure came back and the fleet is enjoying it: her majesty Cambria K-4 is flying beautifully away, the others were match-racing like as if there was no tomorrow.

The P-Class with SCUD with distance react to every single tack, as the 6 Bermudan Yawl give up! The Tofinou fleet has used all vantages to be close to the rock of the Cap d’Antibes (I lost the numbers of time it has been used as panorama for a movie…).

At time to write, a surprise, Cambria K-4, SKY-9 and HALLOWE'EN - 2 are disqualified with NSC (and many others), MANITOU - 62 is DSQ probably for the protest with EMILIA I-2 (not confirmed d/t bug in the access to the webpage).
Day 2 it’s bit a nightmare, forecast say maybe rain in the noon, or not in the morning we will see…
The lack of the 15m IR and many others Fife creations (regatta in Scotland) doesn’t change the result: Antibes is the Sailors kindergarten!
