“Our team Challenge France is currently competing the the International C-Class Catamaran Championship on Patient Lady VI with Gurvan Bontemps (Helmsman) and Gwénolé Gahinet (Crew).

On the water Hydros Team swap their daggers upside-down, with the L tip above the deck, to reduce drag in calm conditions. It was a total disaster for both teams, as Mischa missed the start by some minutes (And the chance to meet Cammas in the Final Match), and performance didn´t improved.
This idea has been already implemented by Dario Valenza on his latest Paradox A-Cat Rudders. More info with Darío later on this.

Cammas continued to dominate the fleet althgough they gave away a bullet on ligth weather to Canaan, and Groupama will race the final Match against Hydros Besson-Lagarrigue. This event will provide excellent data for those in A-Class wanting to fully open the rules.
