Star Class Honoring the Past, Leading the Future
Report from Guillaume Poli (losing much of its flavor in the translation from French)
At 11 a.m., planned starting time, the only one to rub his hands in anticipation is the keeper of the YCIF bar, but suddenly 10 min later, the house of the YCIF has a crisis of moderate convulsions; launch your boats!
A slight wind of 2.5 knots (in the gusts) had appeared. Some of the 7 boats that had been waiting ashore made the start, others, unbelieving that it was possible to race, dawdled getting away from the dock and were very late getting to the line.
The day continued in a procession of blurs and nonsenses: abominably disputed regattas, a wind which reinforced itself when everyone or almost all had said, well, it would not come, a mixed crew which got along well, a winner of the first race who lost the regatta on the last leg, a protest submitted to the committee, planes which land with the wind, 3 races after lunch_
