Crazy and sometimes unlikely Challenges From 13:00 hours, Le Portalet bore witness to a steady stream of protagonists competing for the Club 55 Cup, the Centenary Trophy and a dozen or so battles with two, three or even six boats, with some evenly matched challenges like the one that grouped together the magnificent Bermudan yawls Skylark (Stephens 1937), Manitou (Stephens 1937) and Blitzen ( Sparkman&Stephens 1938), that of the large craft pitting Cambria (Fife 1929) against Halloween (Fife 1926) and Mariella (Mylne 1938) or the more unlikely battles involving the gunter rig Alcyon (Scotto/Vaton 2013) and the 10mR sloop Marge (Anker 1936). The Modern sailboats also joined in this exotic mix of groups when the Grand Soleil 50 MadIV , one of the stars of IRC B (North Sails Trophy), challenged Bernina X , the brilliant X41 in IRC D (Suzuki Trophy).
