World Cup Melbourne AUS

 

18.12.2010
The wind drop down completely for our medal race. From 20knts, we only got 5knts and the chopy waves. The wind was really tricky and shifty. I managed very well the first 200m and had a lead of 150m after the first rounding mark. The podium changed quite a lot during the last downwind...I'm happy. I won the silver medal at this first Worldcup of the season 2011. The results

17.12.2010
We could sail only one race before the 40knts hit our course area. The race comite had to cancel the rest of the day due to extrem conditions. With a place of 6th, I m in the game, still 3rd. The podium will be decid after the medal race of Saturday 2pm. All the results

Really tricky conditions today with more than 30 degres shift and a lot of differents of pressure on the water. Was hard, but I was quite well inspirated today and did 3 super races: 2nd, 1st, 2nd. I'm now 3rd overall only 6 points behind the 1st. We'v got 3 more races tomorrow before the medal race on Saturday.

The seabreeze increased this morning only til 9knts, les than expected. We could sail 3 races in shifty conditions, with the wind turning from 165 to 195 in the afternoon. With the places 7,4,9, I m actually 4th overall. But tomorrow is an other day with 3 races expected in more than 20 knts. Let's see !

After 2 hours of waiting on shore, the race commitee tried to make us a race in 4 knts decreasing to 0. They had to abandonate it.
