Marseille International Match Race
The first day of racing went ahead today in Marseille.
The sailing conditions faced by the teams were very difficult in spite of the sunshine: 25 knots and heavy seas: “we reached the limits in terms of possible weather”.
In theses conditions, where luck doesn’t really come into it, the standing order was respected, so it wil not come as a surprise that the three top seeds (Richard, Cian and Col) won all their races easily.
The toughest match of the day was a Franco-French duel between Presti and Iehl - which the former ended up winning.
