Since a week, I’m training in Portugal with a sparring partner and my Olympic trainer, Didier Charvet. My feelings on the boat and my reflexes came back really quickly.

For the training and racing, the wind conditions were difficult: light wind 3-8 knts with swell and choppy waves from the side and with tidal stream. We could only hike a bit on the last day racing, with 12-15knts. After this 5 days training, I participated at the Europacup in Matosinhos,. I finished 1st with the races 6,1,1,3. It’s really cool to see that I didn’t loose any of my technical reflexes during this 10 months break. I’m even more motivated, happy to find again my little boat.
