Lacanau Guyenne 24 – 26 August
Report by Frederic Lamarque
This, like every year since 2007, our national was held at Lacanau Lake.
3 days of regatta , 3 days of barbecue and with 26 French competitors it was the biggest French participation to a national since 1980.
On Friday we had a very small wind. We ran 3 races and discovered a new champion in France, Olivier Hontanx who for his first regatta in OK-Dinghy show us the way to follow to have some chance to success in a big international regatta like future European championship in Carnac in 2013.
On Saturday, it was more my type of weather, more windy (around 15 knots) and Olivier had some problem of speed, as he was sailing with a very old MarstrandMasten Mast too stiff for him, against Competitors with recent Carbon masts.
So at the end of the second day, Olivier was first, I with FRA 1764 was second and Alain Renoux third.
On Sunday as we raced only the morning, we had a very small wind. Olivier finished first, I was OCS and let the second place to Alain.
