« The format of this 40 Malouine SACIB is super ! It’s a mix of doublehanded training during an intense offshore race and shorter routes with numerous maneuvers. It was also very pleasant to have our partners on board for the 2 costals fullycrewed races on Sunday morning with very good weather conditions, sunny and windy. We won the first leg and it was not easy.The fight was intense.On the second leg, despite a start on the second place and another trap stuck on the keel, we managed to sail well to regain places » says Luke BERRY.
A first edition very positive ans enjoyed by everyone. The race partners already confirmed their support for the next edition.The SNBSM is under discussion wth the Class40 and the skippers to schedule a date in the 2020 race program.
