A very calm start
Pleasant for some, too soft for others. With these forecasts, the most powerful boats will not be able to take a large lead from the start. You will have to elbow your way during the first week and remain vigilant to avoid collisions.
Everyone must now establish or refine their departure strategy before reporting alone on board, Sunday, probably without change, at 1:02 p.m.
