Boat show quotes
Alain Delord : "I keep my boat for myself next year so I will still be racing in the 650 class. This ranking is a good idea. It goes with the mini spirit. A ranking by points makes us wanting to enter in all the races !"
Yves Le Blévec : "If I can continue to sail, I do it again ! My experience in the 650 class was great. I have learnt lots of things. Before this season, I didn’t know offshore and single handing sailing. Now, I want to improve my skills. This ranking is nice. We have to make good results all along the year. It celebrates the most regular skippers."
Yannick Bestaven : "I have talked with Lalou Roucayrol to sail aboard the trimaran Banque Populaire. I will start the year as crew for the grand-prix. In the same time, I try to launch a challenge for the Rhum Race. I think about Yves Parlier’s monohull which I already know as I have sailed aboard feww times. But going from the mini to the Open 60 is not easy ! It is another organisation Organisation #organisation and another budget !"
