Photos by French A-Class Assoc more at AFFCA fb page . Benoit Marie was crowned this weekend as 2018 A-Class French National Champion. 11 races held at Cercle Voile Bordeaux, Carcans , Maubuisson.

A good mix of wind conditions during the event put balance for foilers and floaters alike.

Domination for Benoit with 6 bullets and 15pts gap with second place Emmanuel Dodé. Third place overall for Albert Roturier.

In the Classics Division (floating mode) the title went to Micky Todd (7th overall).

Next big A-Class event will be Worlds at Hervey Bay in Australia.

Excellent numbers of boats with +50 A-Class and both divisions racing together (after some past turmoil with Sailing French Fed)
