Petit Bateau 2004 Leg 3 News
Report - Leg1 - Leg 2 - Leg 3 - Photos - Entries - About

FALMOUTH - KINSALE - GIJON - CAMARET

1st August 2004 21:00

Sorry about the delay in posting the results, just got back from Camaret:

All solo skippers finished the third and final leg of Petit Bateau 2004 in good time for the prize-giving despite predictions of extended periods of calm. In fact all boats reported light breezes throughout the leg except for a few hours.

The prize-giving took place in the sunny garden of the Hotel Vauban. This was followed by an end of event dinner at the restaurant Abris du Marin for 24 skippers, family, and PB friends. A hot topic for debate was the format of PB2005! There is no doubt amongst anyone involved that Petit Bateau 2004 has been a huge success.

Paul Peggs - Audacious, shortly after the start of PB2004 Leg 3.

"started 2 hrs ago in 8k

R forty leading
but all a lottery at the moment
I tacked left with Olivier
every one else gone right

Pics R40 and Ian just after Gijon start.
Must get back to racing
Cheers Paul"


28th July 2004

Start time is 1200hrs local time

Ian Wittevrongle - Jaralella has joined the fleet for last leg to Camaret. Jaralella, a lightweight J92, could be the hot favourite in what promises to be a light airs race.


28th July 2004

An amendment to the Sailing Instructions has been agreed by the Skippers. In summary, there will be a time limit for leg 3. Boats must finish by 17:00UTC on Sunday 1st August 2004. Each boat must take it's own time passing the latitude of Chaussée de Sein buoy, a mark of the course at the entrance to La Iroise. A decision will be taken by the skippers on Saturday morning (via VHF radio) whether to shorten the race in order to maximise the number who finish.

Jerry Freeman - Alice's Mirror, pre-start.

"No wind forecast, eta Sat if lucky."

The solo sailors dined en masse last night. Carbo-loading for the sprint to Camaret?
