Deauville International Sailing Week

Nevertheless, the week began in a difficult context with a strike movement by fishermen stretching right the way across the English Channel. However a constant and responsible dialogue with the local representatives of the Trouville / Deauville fishing committee enabled any disruption in the sequence of events to be avoided. Furthermore, it was also an opportunity to renew the support of the pleasure boat industry for that of fishing.

The almost ideal weather conditions characterised by sun and 10 to 18 knots of breeze, quickly replaced the storms from the start of the week and provided racers with four days of intense racing and enjoyment, as the red faces on the quaysides at the end of the competition bore witness.
