The Canarian Olympic Week (Dec. 5-8) is the last step in my transition and return to WorldCup level. 80 Radial of 12 nations are pre-registred, which makes my participation very interesting. A period of 7 days with my trainer Didier Charvet from the federation SST is planned. Nice weatherforcast: 10 to 16 knts with a temperature of 21°C... I'm looking forward !

Nice conditions for this 3 days training with Sophie de Turckheim and my trainer Didier. 20 degres, 15knts with a very complicated sea: swell not in the wind direction with huge waves...well, cool waves to surf downwind. Today, less wind, 5-7knt with still huge waves...quite hard.
Tomorow start the olympic week...more news are coming soon!

Long day on the water. We could sail 2 races in 5-7knts for the first race and 7-9knts for the second, with still big waves and swell. The wind was very irregular, big shift and big difference in intensity. Not easy at all...like 2 years ago. My races are not so good, 8th and 15th, out of 55 boats. Hope I will sail better tomorow

After 4 hours waiting on the water, the race comite send us back. No races today.

We had to wait 3 hours on shore until the wind was completly established. We started the first race in 4-9 knts with 40° shift. I sailed quite good the first one, finishing 4th. After a good second start, I round the mark in the second position. My second upwind was not that good. I fall in a hole of wind and the whole group on my left and some on the right passed me. I end up 10th, a bit disappointed. Tonight, I'm 7th overall, very closed to the people in front of me

No wind again today. It's a pity. We finish this regatta with only 4 races. You can find the results here:
