With a slight moderation of the Mistral, and eager to enjoy a warm sun, all the racers, both in Moderns and Classics, were quivering this morning to face the muscular conditions of the day, and to test themselves in the tonic West wind. At 11 o’clock, the 132 Moderne yachts were heading for L’Escalet, for a superb coastal route as close as possible to the shore, while the 82 classic yachts were trying to reach the starting zone. Weary, the state of the sea and the gusts at more than 30 knots did not allow the fair holding of the jousts for the Classics, and it is with regret that this part of the fleet returned to the port, not without having first regaled the hunters with images, as numerous as ever in Saint-Tropez. The 5 Modern IRC Groups validated their second round of the week.
