The most successful team of the esse 850 family leaves the circus to seek new challenges. In 2018, the team around Alain Marchand won the overall IC Cup ranking for the eighth time. Even if it is a great loss for the class and a pity that the always good-humoured team won't take part in our regattas anymore, the question now is who can take their place at the top of the fleet. The committee and the whole class wishes the ottocinque team all the best and good luck for their future adventures.
