Nice 51st Xmas Regatta

 

This 51st edition of the Nice Xmas regatta was a big success, thanks to the organization, the quality of contestants, and the beautiful weather. Thirty boats of 8 nations and 16 fleets were racing, finishing very close everytime. The races took place early in the morning, with the tramontana blowing 12 knots at the beginning, falling to 8 at the end of the morning. No races in the afternoon, due to the lack of wind, which permitted the crew to enjoy the warm weather having lunch in the Club Nautique terrace. Now a tradition, a wonderful Champagne party was offered by Julia and Graham Bailey in their Villefranche apartment on Friday night. Two races were held each day to a total of six. With no surprise, the double world champion and bronze medallist in Athen games Xavier Rohart, Star builder Stefano Lillia crewing, won the series with four bullets. The Spanish crew of Jose Maria Van der Ploeg / Fernando Rodriguez Rivero were second, and the Swiss team Juerg Wittich / Christian Traschel from Bodensee took the third. An appointment was taken for the 52nd edition next year.
