F18 Worlds: Mourniac signs with Sail Innovation

World Champ helm, Olivier Backes, cannot defend his title, although WC Arnaud Jarlegan will be there sailing with Mourniac, maybe this time Christophe can take home what he deserves after all these years of being so close at the F18 Worlds.

Press relase by Alex Udin–
Sail Innovation is proud to announce the venue of Kinou Mourniac in the team.

Kinou is joining us and will sail the F18 world’s with Arnaud on the Phantom. All the team is looking forward to work with him again, we had close collaboration several years ago on the sail development for Hobie.
Kinou is sailing F18 since more than 10 years, he has participated to several boats development, his know how and experience will be very helpful to the team in order to continue the improvement of the Phantom project.

Arnaud Jarlegan:
I am glad to sail with Kinou. Our collaboration is positive and good for the Phantom project. The development takes us a lot of time but we are motivated. We want to take pleasure and bring our experiences together. See you in Hungary.
Kinou Mourniac:
I’m very happy to join the Sail Innovation Team and to sail with Arnaud. He is a fantastic crew. I’m very impressed by their new boat, the “Phantom”. And I’m very motivated to join this new project and try to get a very good result at the Worlds.
See you in Hungary.
Olivier Backes:
Unfortunately I could not sail this season (except Carnac for the first test of the phantom) but I am happy that Kinou could helm the boat for this season. Kinou is a very experienced helm, knows very well the f18, and with Arnaud, they will be one of the top team for the worlds next week. I wish all the best to Kinou and Arnaud for this championship!!!
