This year’s Grand Prix De L’Ecole Navale (GPEN), sailed from May 29-June 1, was yet another well-organized and fun sailing event for the participants. L’École Navale (French Naval Academy) and their Race Committee PROs conducted excellent racing across three racing sites—the bay of Crozon-Morgat, the bay of Camaret and le port du Château in Brest (Brest marina). In the J/70s, top boat was Ludovic Senechal’s team on LULU LA NANTAISE (Francois Loisel, Bertrand Maillard and Rodolphe Deschamps) winning with 12 points net. Just two points back was Thomas Mellano’s team on LE HAVRE NAUTIC, and in third was Philippe Delaporte sailing PEN AZEN.
