Course area and course configuration

edit

For the 3 to 10 ton the 19 kilometres (10 nmi) course in the Meulan course area was used.

Weather conditions

edit

The race was troublesome due to an almost complete absence of any wind and the existing wind was perpendicular to the course (river Seine) and blocked or diverted by trees and buildings.[2]

Final results[3]

edit

Two separate races were sailed. No combined results were made.[1]
