Twenty-six crews resume a regatta in Vierville

Twenty-six crews had shown up at 9:30 a.m. on a Saturday for the beach regatta of the Omaha Beach Sailing School. The wind has long been missing. A slight sea breeze only appeared at the tide reversal, allowing the start at 4:15 p.m.

Beginners and confirmed crews then sailed in a good mood. Christophe and Yohann Cordelle won the dinghy category on their Fireball; Julien Desprez won among young people on Optimist.

After the ascent of the boats and the calculation of the results, cuts and prices were put back in a happy atmosphere. Matra and Dupont d'Isigny had helped gather the gifts. A glass of friendship and a collective photograph concluded this resumption of the regattas, presented as a sign of the vitality of the sailing school.
