26 September - 4 October 2015
There are worse places in the world to spend the morning waiting to see if racing is going to happen or not than the waterfront cafes of Saint Tropez.
Today the waiting proved to be in vain as the AP over A signal was given a little after 1130hrs this morning and the race fleet for Les Voiles de Saint Tropez had racing for the day cancelled due to strong winds and big seas on the race area. This afternoon's gusts are forecast to peak at nearly 30kts.
The smiles remain broad aboard the Shamrock this morning after they were credited with beating J Class rivals Ranger yesterday under IRC handicap by a mere 18 seconds on corrected time after three hours and 22 NMs of racing.
Might just be time for a petit mousse or deux for the Shamrock V crew, they finished sixth on corrected time with Ranger seventh.
