This weekend we have our first event of the year, a grade 3 in Marseilles. We came second at this venue last year and although we haven't raced much over the winter we are keen to get some ranking points on the board early on. The entry list looks fairly diverse ranging from the local qualifying teams to the well practiced Frenchman Alex Littoz, the more and more formidable Perris farther son duo and sailing superstar Bertrand Pace. It's always good to go up against Americas Cup legends and general wile old dogs in small boats as you never quiet know what they are capable of.
