Four British Europe Sailors turned up to do battle against
the traditional Mistral winds that have blown full force for the Hyeres
Olympic Semaine for years. Memories of boats cartwheeling down wind from
last year were not to be repeated this year. Light off shore winds and
brilliant sunshine provided some tricky shifty racing.
In the Gold Fleet, Debbie won the practice
race but fortunately she didn't get the predicted bad luck! Debbie
sailed with great form and her consistent series placed her in 9th
place overall, a very commendable result. Kirsty
raced well in the Gold Fleet finishing 25th
overall and showed that she can race at the front of the fleet producing
a couple of top 5 results.
In the Silver Fleet Laura made up for her
earlier error of missing the first start!
Scoring 3rd, 4th and 3rd. Laura finished
47th overall and 4th in the Silver Fleet.
Andrea Brewster finished 53rd
overall and 10th in the Silver Fleet.
