It turns out to be usual now: the season starts in Antibes with Ski Voile.
This year, 26 boats came on the riviera to sail and a good part go to ski in Auron. This regatta is becoming international as in addition to the french teams, 2 English, 2 Swiss, 1 german and 1 italian crews took part to the championship.
The championship started by a giant slalom in Auron, along with the Dragon and the Finn sailors who were also competing in Ski Voile. 5o5er managed well: Benjamin Roulant won the ski race.
Sailing took place from friday to sunday in the bay of Antibes.
If the weather was sunny and not too cold for the season, the wind was light and shifty.
The first day 3 races were done and the lead was taken by Pinnel/Diebitsch contested by Boite/Toupet and Betschen/Jacot. These 3 teams will always be on the top during the whole regatta.
Saturday, the wind was lighter and shiftier than the previous day. Only 2 races were done and Pinnel/Diebitsch won both.
On Sunday, one race was complete before the wind tottally vanished. Betschen/Jacot won it easily and climb a step higher on the podium.
Finally, sailing was won by Pinnel/Diebitsch followed by Betschen/Jacot and Boite/Toupet.
However, this is Ski Voile so you have to perform both on ski and on sailing. This is what the team Agrapart/Lafortune did. So they got the cup!
