Optimist – Opti d’Or – Saint Raphaël
A fleet of Optimists took over the venue for the Opti d’Or, a league regatta organised by Club Nautique de Saint Raphaël. Four races for the Minimes (older group) and three for the younger Benjamin category were completed in ideal conditions with a light 6 to 12 knot breeze on a flat sea.
This first league event was full of promise for the upcoming season, if the results achieved by the Monegasque delegation are anything to go by. With 65 Optimists in the Minimes fleet, YCM’s young sailors did not disappoint with Océane Schroeder coming 23rd just ahead of Frederik Holst, 25th, with Joséphine Dobbelaere 47th. In the Benjamins, the ambition is there as reflected in the rankings and superb 5th place clinched by Louis Faivre while Victor Holst came 9th ahead of Sacha Mousny 14th, Julian Lampert 15th, Anastasyia Verpeka Dolling 16th and 1st in the girls. Mona Benchekroun and Victor Marquet finished 19th and 21st respectively.
