Charly Cumbley wins Autumn Cup, held in Bandol, Côte d’Azur just before the European Championship in Palma.
The Autumn Cup was perfectly timed being 3 days before the start of the Europeans in Palma with a Ferry going from close by Toulon directly to Mallorca.
4 former World Champions where attending with three of them making up the podium in the end.
The first day saw westerly 5-8 knots, relatively stable in direction and strength with a right corner bias. Hardly a cloud in the sky and nice warm weather.
The second day was predicted to have more wind but ended up with 4h postponement ashore with the usual banter in the sun. Them two races in SE winds, starting in 8kn dropping to 4kn by the end of the first race but picking up to 10kn in the second. Light but lovely conditions for late October.
Day three saw considerably more wind from the East. Starting in about 15 to 18 kn and for the second race it picked up to 22 kn. The first two races were up and down course in the next bay from Bandol (Sanary). The left was favoured in both races. By the end of the second race the race committee was challenged with a slipping anchor, after over 1 hour the RC decided to go back to the Bandol Bay and have another race there. This time a triangle course; it was extremely shifty because of cliffs to windward. It was the first time during the regatta that a triangle course was used. In the evening the official regatta dinner was held in the club, starting with finger food followed by Ragou and potatoes then a cheese platter and some apple pie – a food just how you would expect at a big french family fest, good quality and good taste. And of course always accompanied by enough rosé and red wine from the region.
A big thank you should go to the different sponsors, including Greg Wilcox and Fabian Rossbacher who paid for enough free beer for all during the event, the tab was always open for everyone to pour a beer. Also there were enough sponsored prizes for all competitors to get a prize.
