Not as usual, this year, the main event of the class, the Europa Cup Esse 850 in Malcesine, was fully stormy and full north wind «Pelèr » dedicaded.

It means strong conditions for the crews, looking like, kite up. Wet, wet, wet, jibing, kite down. Oops – kite in the water! Aargh… But all that makes the sailors tired but very happy after the sailing day. Eight races sailed, three victories for our team (Fanny, Loïc, Dario & me).

Thanks to the very good crews from Germany, Austria, Italy and Switzerland to push us hard. Again a nice championship, with friendly teams and nice organisation.
