A beautiful stage under the sun
These are the first words of the president of the Club de Voile de la Baie d’Erquy (CVBE) Olivier Bovyn when he landed this Thursday afternoon at Perros-Guirec, where the 29 sports catamarans participating in the Costarmorican Raid had just arrived. Having left Bréhat in the late morning.
The competitors had to start by tacking up to the wind before encountering more favorable winds. “In the end, we had a very tight finish,” says Olivier Bovyn. In a slightly different order from that of the finish of yesterday’s stage, Erquy-Bréhat, the four leading boats are the same, which suggests a good competition on Friday between Perros-Guirec and Plérin.
