The French team set sail in 10 races during their regatta campaign to formulate the final results which also include a discarded race. The French team grabbed some higher finishes in the early races which brought them on top of the standings.
In the middle of the regatta, the French Sonar fleet finished on three second podium finishes but still maintained their overall position. However, in the final races, the team clicked a fifth and a fourth position troubled them but a discarded race points
brought them on top of the fleet results.
The weather conditions on the Medemblik waters were quite fascinating and assisted the participants throughout the regatta. The Sonar fleet was troubled with the fluctuation of the winds in the middle but it was not enough to topple them down and they finished
the races on time.
Nederland’s Udo Hessels, Mischa Rossen and Marcel van de Veen, who dominated the fleet standings in the beginning but they tumbled down during the regatta proceedings and came down on the second podium place at the end of the event with 24 points
