Gold Cup - Day 1-2
After 2 days of racing and a lot of surprises, it's a safe bet that the standings will be turned upside down with the withdrawal of the worst result this evening.
Indeed if Jan Willem should keep his place at the top of the fleet with his scores of (4,4,4,2) a lot of un lucky people should re enter the top 10.

Day 3
It promises to be windy and the feeling in the parking lot confirms it.
After a safety briefing concerning the return to the slipway, the fleet goes to race outside. while speaking of safe return, we should perhaps also have insisted on the rules on the exit too. This narrow channel upwind is a real shaker.
Gold Cup - Day 5
Day 4
It will be under the sign of light wind and the sun for this day. After a first recall, it starts for an 75 minutes of light wind and current that pushed toward the open sea unlike the previous days. Quite quickly Pierre Vidal breaks away in the windward and continues to take the lead downwind ... Behind it is closer between the Merelles, the Billards but it is the dart of our "Presidente" who will take second place in the second round and keep it until the finish.

Day 6
But who can beat François Morisset in a stronger wind?
This morning two races planned in a wind announced between 15 and 20 knts.
First round relaunched under the black flag. The wind is more westerly and as the committee changes forward the departure time the current is pushing windward. You have to anticipate it to limit the out of frame toward the windward buoy. Then it goes downwind very quickly above 12 knts. On this race François wins in less than 45 minutes ahead of Michiel Fehr and Pierre Betsch.
The podium order is changed with this race that allows the second discard and even if angélique and lucie score 10, Jan Willem te Gussinklo finishes 7 and takes the lead.
