FP Camp report: 
” First day of the Flying Phantom Series Eurocat 2015.

A cloudy day with a wind range between 15 and 20 kts. It was a unique opportunity for the fleet to race in very good conditions and enjoy the first racing day.
Ranking:

1/ Gurvan Bontemps – Benjamin Amiot
2/ Franck Cammas – Antoine Joubert
3/ Sébastien Rogues – Benjamin Lamote …”

Tomorrow they will race together on the Long Distance.  Forecast looks good early with  30 knots at 17pm. An early start can be done , last year it took 2hrs for Gurvan & Ben to complete the  Raid.
Sunday seems to be raceable too for the experienced crews srting  18knots to complete the course racing stage.
