After 4 days of really close racing Jane and Chris have won the EuroCup in various conditions! It was a stunning event with great racing, beautiful conditions and it was exciting close until the end.
Jane and Chris felt the pressure from the Dutch sailors. The Dutch team on their way to the World Championships in their home country are training hard to get the level up in order to show their capabilities on home water this summer. And this was visible on the water in Carnac!
Dutch men Bjorn and Max started and closed the event in style with wins in both of these races and pushed GBR team Jane/Chris and NED team Michiel/Hilde quite a bit during the event. Also Dutch team Nick/Willemijn showed they are really back in the game after a year of 'so and so' racing due to other priorities. This event they showed to be back again.
Jane/Chris and Michiel/Hilde made it a very close call after every days racing. Both teams never gave away more then 2 points after every single day of racing. But it was Jane and Chris being that bit more consistent and sharp on getting all the points in they needed.
The conditions:
Day 1 was light and shifty. Day 2 gave medium 12-16 knts breeze. Day 3 started with a race where the wind came from everywhere but ended with two races full on 20+knts of wind. The final day it was all about light and shifty again.
The event
was brilliantly organized. Very professional on the water and very relaxed and well accomodated at the club. Great diner night with music. Thanks to all who made this possible!
