29-31 August
French National championship was held this year on Lacanau Lake, west from Bordeaux at the end of August.
28 OK sailors came from many places in France: Côte d’Azur, Ile de France, Britain, and South-West.
Starting on Monday for training, the wind was light. We were a dozen of sailors on Tuesday.
On Thursday, we were more than 20 and made a nice training with Daniel Dahon who came with the Côte d’Azur team.
The regatta began on Friday with a light moderate wind. Three races were run, and Alain Renoux took the head of the race.
On Saturday, a little more wind and more occasions for Frédéric Lamarque to take the head of the race.
But OK-Dinghy is sometimes surprising us downwind and Frédéric capsized as he was leader in the fourth race and then loose 4 places.
On race 5 the wind was at his maximum for the regatta (around 13 knots), and Frédéric won easely.
For last races, the wind decreased, and Alain came back for tacking the first places.
The organisation was really good, with beer and barbecues. A nice dinner on saturday night was held in the forest at “La cabane de chasse”.
On Sunday, as the wind will not come before 16h, the race committee decided to give the results at 14h.
