Conditions could not have been better with eight races completed over the three days (15-17 January 2016) in a steady south-westerly beneath sunny skies for sailors coming from North Europe, including eight German, three Swedish and two Russian teams. In total, there were 34 J/70s jostling for position on the start. Swedish Oscar Lundqvist (Fanny) won this weekend, eight points in front of the Englishman Charlie Esse (Baby J) who came back with a vengeance on Sunday, and the German Claas Lehmann (Tre Makreller) who did not win a race but was consistently at the front of the fleet throughout the weekend. Congratulations for a fine performance by YCM member Stefano Roberti (Piccinina) who managed the most race wins during the weekend. The next meeting is a Mediterranean classic, the Primo Cup – Trophee Credit Suisse to be held over the first two weekends of February.
