A-Class France: Criterium Europeen 2018: Emmanuel Dodé 1st
Images by French A-Class Assoc. – 34 boats gathered for the Criterium 2018 Regatta organized by the French A-Class Association (AFCCA) which is the local official A-Class under the International A-Class Assoc (IACA/ a-cat.org). With the IACA now classifying Foiling & Floating fleets, maybe its time for specific floating sailors to start sailing all together again, as even different Classes like F18/F16 or on this case A-Class/French F16, are able to sail in the same event, I really don’t see a reason for the A-Cat platforms to race in separated Associations , now with the official iaca split rankings.
Emmanuel Dodé (Dna F1) won over Jean Louis Le Coq. Third place for Micky Todd.

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
