F18 French Nats 2024 @La Rochelle: Day 1 Results
Four races held today at La Rochelle. And four bullets were scored by Argies Pablo Volker & Federico Polimeni. Full dominance in the rankings but Pablo told me races were tight fought. The overall leaders sailing a Goodall Akurra, have won 6 out of 7 races completed.
Second overall for Cedric Bader & Yves Peters (Nacr Evo) and third for Emeric Dary & David Fanouillere (Akurra)
Teams attending this event are having a great warmup regatta towards 2024 Worlds coming in July at Costa Brava, already +120 teams registered.
Volker & Polimeni showing their performance at Travemunde Worlds 2023, where they got sailing together at the spot for first time, was not a one time shot, but now a consistent drive on winning races! Already candidates for 2024 Title with this impressive display at the French Nats.
Tomorrow 5 more races scheduled. No pics available.
