French Nats @Hyeres: Mazzuchi & Lisignoli lead
Comments by James Baeckler, in line with what I’ve been writing for a while on the a shorter DS foot and lately on Brewin’s new sail past days:
——
“The Italian team of Mazzuchi & Lisignoli seems untouchable in light wind using an Oxo decksweeper sail prototype which is not as extreme in foot size as some others designs, thus leaving a large corridor for both crew to pass under the boom when tacking. A possible design to regroup all F18 sailors whit this sensitive evolution.

Overall after 2 races :
1 ITA 69 Mazzuchi/Lisignoli
2 FRA 5 Martin/ Gate
3 ITA Fantasia/ Recalcati
Tomorrow west wind 15/18 kts is expected, we will see if that Decksweeper is confirming to be superior in stronger wind too”

I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
