Quotes from the Boats :
Franck Cammas, skipper of the M34 M34 #M34 “Groupama 34”, winner of Normandy Sailing Week 2013 : “It’s a fine victory as we’ve finished the race with a good lead over our rivals. We’re at ease in the breeze. Things have always come good for me on Le Havre’s race zone. We’re constantly making progress on our M34 M34 #M34 . Our team is new to this craft. The Tour de France à la Voile is going to be thrilling now that Nicolas Troussel’s team having upped their game, “Courrier Dunkerque 3” will be in great shape and “Sodebo” too I’m sure.”
Fred Bouvier, President of the J111 Class and crewman aboard the J111 “Djinn” : “Everyone’s delighted. It’s been close racing, with frequent jockeying for position at the mark roundings. We have a fine European Champion. Switching circuits on a daily basis has been a good thing, as you discover a new race zone every morning. Thank you to the organisers ! We’ll be back”.
Manfred Ramspacher, organiser of Normandy Sailing Week : “The event standard has really gone up a notch this year. We’ve taken a big step forward with the arrival of the major protagonists from French sailing and a large fleet of J80s. We’ve seen a real boost of power injected into Normandy Sailing Week. See you again for more in 2014”.
Daniel Souben, skipper of the M34 “Courrier Dunkerque 3” : “It’s a disappointing week for our team. We just didn’t have what it takes this week. We didn’t manage to stay in the battle for victory and we finished too far behind “Groupama 34” and too close to third. We’re going to quickly refocus for the Tour de France à la Voile and we have a serious amount of work to do on our sails. Last year we lost at Normandy Sailing Week, but that didn’t mean we weren’t able to sail a blinder at the start of the Tour de France”.
Nicolas Troussel, skipper of “Bretagne – Crédit Mutuel Elite” : “We missed out on second place in Normandy Sailing Week due to the final tack of the day. It’s a shame but it remains a great performance. We’re better than we were at the start of the season. We’ll be firing on all cylinders at the start of the Tour de France à la Voile and we will be in contention for the win”.
Damien Jouen, crewman aboard “Foggy Dew” : “It’s a pleasure to have sailed with Jimmy Pahun, who’s a mightily talented helmsman. Things are better immediately when he’s around ! The racing was really tight right to the finish, but we were in winning form in the lively conditions throughout the weekend”.
Arthur Herreman, skipper of the J80 “Match the World” : “We’re gunning for the top 5 in the World Championships in July. It’s an absolute delight to win Normandy Sailing Week on home waters. It all came down to the final race. We’re continuing to improve and have the means to succeed”.
