Bruno Jourdren, Nicolas Vimont-Vicary, Eric Flaguel on top of Sonar fleet: 2012 Delta Lloyd Regatta
Third day of the 2012 Delta Lloyd Regatta was a tussling day for the Sonar fleet as the participants had some troubling time during the proceedings because of the lack of wind.
The weather conditions on the Medemblik waters were quite fascinating on the first two days but they did not show the same atmosphere on the third day because of lower knots.
The Sonar fleet was not expecting such sailing conditions and had trouble during the completion of their scheduled racing. However, with consistent display of superb sailing skills, Bruno Jourdren, Nicolas Vimont-Vicary and Eric Flaguel were able to stay
on top of the fleet standings with 17 points.
The crew hit the leading podium spot for the very first day with some outstanding sailing skills and retained their leading podium until the finish of the third day. The French team sailed consistently and clinched some higher finishes to make the final
results.
The first day of the regatta brought good winds along with good results. The French team clinched a second finish and third along with a bullet to start their run in the event. The second day was yet another good start for the team as they had one bullet
and two second podium places.
However, due to the lack of winds on third day, the French team was not able to maintain their course of higher points and tumbled a bit down to fourth and fifth spots but a discarded race benefitted them and they stayed on the leading podium.
