It was a good day 1 for us today at the French Olympic Sailing Week in Hyeres. Once again we are in group C so it was a late start and late finish for us with our first race getting underway around 3pm and finishing up about 6pm. Our opponents for the day were Abrahamsen (DEN), Mota (BRA), Hazard (NZL) and Kjellberg (SWE) and despite a few shaky moments pre start (mainly my fault!) we won all four races by a comfortable margin and are finishing the day pretty happy all round.
Unfortunately it looks like today may have been our best day for breeze looking at the weeks forecast. Tomorrow is looking light and ,meant to be dropping throughout the day so we'll hope it stays in long enough for our group to finish our last three round robin races. We'll be racing two of the French teams, Bossard and Le Berre and Groeneveld (NED) and will try to keep you posted but full results can be found on the event website.
