18:04 | no chance of racing today . AP over A. We keep our \\”fingers crossed\\” – ie hoping for better conditions tomorrow.
16:26 | nothing new to report . There is more wind than this morning , but it is very light !
Can i take this moment to remind national associations that the class AGM will take place in Portimao.
Date and agenda will follow very soon.
13:43 | We held the first skippers meeting this morning at 10.30. Early enthusiasm was somewhat diminished with news of the forecast for today !
It seems likely that that light winds will dominate the week ; with the possibility of Mistral on Sunday. However the wind has shown a tendency to increase above forecast later in tha day – so we remain hopeful. The Race Committee , under direction of Serge Rouanne (IRO from France) is well prepared and ready to take every opportunity to deliver a good championship. This evening the club are hosting an opening ceremony and cocktail party with visiting dignatories , including the mayor of Bandol , attending.
13:36 | welcome to very sunny, very hot , but not very windy , Bandol !
