Arriving on Saturday, October 5, in the early morning, Mathieu Clavaud won the race among the “pointus” and finished 7th overall ahead of Louis Toreille and François Verdier.
The litany of arrivals continued on Saturday in Saïdia, Morocco with the challenge being first place in Class40 for boats with pointed bows. Old generation boats compared to the new ones (the scows which took the first places) which concern regional skippers.
In this context of light weather (little wind), it was Mathieu Claveau who grew up in Lozère and started sailing in Palavas, who did the best, finishing in 7th place on Taking the Sea / Acting for the forest. “I’m very happy with my race even if we finished very tired. The strategic choices worked well, we didn’t break anything, we got along well with Christophe Fialon. A little long, the last night but we were there where we wanted to be.”
Louis Toreille dismissed at Mauguio-Carnon 8th
Unlike François Verdier and Pierre-Laurent Garnero on Ha Plus PME – Phenix, only 9th and possibly disqualified for having missed a buoy before Sète. “We sailed well but we know where we fished”regretted the skipper based in La Grande-Motte and who wanted so much better on the old boat of Kito de Pavant, the organizer.
Louis Toreille, licensed at Mauguio-Carnon, finished 8th on Aquamarin. Goulven Marie and Nasser Arrais, from Biterrois, born in Morocco, arrived late at night.
