F18 French Nats 2025
Société Nautique de Locmariaquer at the Morbihan gulf delivered a well organized regatta, on the sailing venue and post racing hospitality.
Gavin Colby & Kai Colman won today the 2025 French F18 Nats after eleven races including two Long Distance: R8 & R9
Two good weeks for the Australians now sailing for Nacra. Making a proper Worlds pre season in Europe to fine tune the Evo. They will also participate in 2025 Texel, a regatta Colby won in the past too.
Colby reports: “Last day. 12 knots building to 16. Lumpy with wind against tide. 2 races. Great close racing. Amazing job by f18 France. Excellent event with great ambience and friendships made. On and off the water. F18 in France is back!”
Victorien Erussard is the new France F18 President and responsible to lead the local F18 scene to their glorious past days. Vitorien is a top rider also who finished second overall along Frederic Moreau (Goodall Akura)
Third overall for Parent-Lena who didn’t entered the long distance races.

If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
