Conditions were tough for this 30th edition of the Primo Cup-Trophée Credit Suisse which lived up to its reputation as a demanding winter regatta that attracts a high level among the 800 sailors who come from all over the world early February each year. In total, there were 160 entries, representing 17 nationalities over the two weekends. Introduced last year in the Principality, the J/70 has won many YCM members over who have taken it up. There was much anticipation therefore surrounding the J/70s which proved just how manoeuvrable and easy to handle they are in big conditions. Frenchman Ludovic Sénéchal (Lulu la Nantaise), a regular in the series, demonstrated his supremacy with three race wins. He beat Monegasque Jacopo Carrain (Carpe Diem) who was still discovering what his boat could do having only baptised it on Thursday evening the day before the event. Marc Pajot (Jump Around) and his daughter Zoé reproduced their performance of last weekend in the IRC category to come third. For complete information, visit http://www.yacht-club-monaco.mc.
