Holland to France

For the Armistice regatta, I leased a car and a trailer and picked up my boat in storage in Dronten..

Then, drove 1200 KM in a day to arrive near Bordeaux.

Toting kit back and forth in Europe makes my holiday happen!

Maubuisson Redux

Le Grand Prix Armistice 29 Oct to 2 Nov 2011

Five races in four days with 73 Finns beach launching from the Forest Bombanes beaches.
Results are at the Cercle Voiles Bordeaux Maubuisson (Cvbm) website.
It was a great development of the euro travel program with help from HIT Masts Holland!

There is a full report of this regatta in the current issue of Finnfare published at finnclass.org.

Thank you for the special foreigner's podium to the French Finn Association and CVBM.
