Less than ideal Easter
Big winds, spring tides and a fisherman's dispute in France create havoc at regattas |
| it was a difficult weekend for Europe's two main Easter regattas. Having been blown off for the first two days, Sunday finally saw some racing at the Red Funnel Easter Challenge. See Rick Tomlinson and Mark Lloyd's photo gallery here. Meanwhile at Spi Ouest, La Trinite-sur-Mer was blockaded by fishermen until Saturday... On the final day yesterday Loick Peyron's Gitana crew won the Open 7.50s. Neal Pryde's Hi Fi was first home in the Rolex China Sea Race, during which a TP52 lost her keel. Skipper Geoff Hill describes what happened. Yesterday the IRC winner was determined. This year the race weeks around Tor Bay are to combine. | | Racing was canned on the first day of the 49er Europeans. The Princess Sofia Trophy concluded with an impressive six medal haul for Skandia Team GBR. Matt Mee and Richard Wagstaff are the new Fireball World Champions. It may have left the New York Supreme Court, however Alinghi are now debating the date of the 33rd America's Cup.
