by Editor · Published June 2, 2014 · Updated May 24, 2019

3 Days of racing for the 2014 F18 French Nats held at Yaht Club Bray Dunes, as Sunday saw no wind to complete further races. Saturday’s results were final and Gurvan Bontemps & Benjamin Amiot are the new French Champs.
Charles & Maxime Haineville ended nly 1 pt behind, with Thomas Normand & Antoine Joubert 3rd.
Although Bontemps-Amiot won 5 races it was too close, and a final day would have been an additional interesting Match Race for the title, check last two races and full results at www.ycbd.org
