150523 BAUDUEN FRA "Interligue 3" (420) 546 pict.

Don't look for the best smiles of this event on this blog as they are on official sites I invite you to visit as soon you can

Given DVD photos Raphael PABLO

What a welcome from the Gendarmes !

This remind me the club med of the golden years: The beautiful site without cars, nice view, friendliness as the master world, and what a lot go "GM" forget, a rigorous teamwork behind all of this with an official photographer; com and protocol were not forgotten with a long local TV report and a real price giving !

It's works very well:

Teams from Antibes, Maugio, Aix played together with locals; this time not only on the water... but on shore around a Petanque and long tables !

Weather conditions joined the party: Perfect level of water on lake of Serre Poncon, no rain and...a wind ! Who could expect 3 races on the first day with 12k ?

Bernard, Remy and official photographer creating "Convivialite" ...Each team ll leave with a picture CD of the event !

Wind was a bit less generous on 2nd day, but the 420 fleet with the single 28er could enjoy 2 races.

The light conditions suit best to Lara and Marina from Antibes who choiced the best options....on a single windward sail, you could put half of the fleet behind you !

Back on shore, a virgin punch and and a nice dinner were waiting to the competitors...Some guest even tried the chilly water of the lake !

"chez Lulu"...the strategic place !

Sunday party starting with a generous virgin punch

A bit later for the dinner: Don't leave your glass unattended !

150525 Bauduen IL Day 3A (118 pict.)

Lucky last day as sun decided to stay all day long above the lake ! The super volunteer staff rushed to prepare the generous sandwiches despite a late bread delivery and racers could improve their "Petanque" skills from early morning. The wind delivery arrived a bit later and offered 3 races more.

Ok... the 2 last races were very complicated with more than a part of luck, but with a total of 8 races and such a welcome, this interligue ll stay long in PACA sailors memories !

On this monday, Quentin Dalmasso/Loic Reinhard (picture above) got their best day and won race 7.

The young team Jules Devic/Lucas Beckers from Maugio (picture right) play well on "special" conditions and finished 1st on the last race of the event.

The classic rivality between the 2 leading Antibes boys' boats Maxime PEDRON/Eliot MICHAL (55095) and Jim VINCENT/Victor MAS (55096) turned this time to the advantage of the first one.

About final result, the boys got the best on girls as Quentin DALMASSO/Loic REIHARD got 3nd place, followed by
