33rd Student Yachting World Cup - Overall

by Icarus Sailing Media 20 Oct 2013 00:39 PDT 14-19 October 2013

Yesterday morning, we saw tired faces among every crew. Saturday was the last day of the 33rd edition of the Student Yachting World Cup. France was already known, on the penultimate day as the new champion. Switzerland, second, was 6 points ahead Team USA. The EPFL team must secure their place.

Today, because of the tide, only one race could happen. The committee chose a windward leeward race. This race runs for the "Pornic Trophy".

The teams had to come earlier to start the races before the tide didn't allow them to get back at the harbour. The wind was very low, with only 7 knots coming from South East. All the teams did a fair start. This race was held without spinnakers. England led the first lap, then France came back at the second at the mark.

After the dog legs during the second lap, Switzerland overtook their competitors and took the lead followed by England. Eventually, Switzerland won the race which confirmed their second place in the general ranking; England finished second, and then came the defending champion. England with 75 points overtook Australia 76 points in the general ranking to finish 4th & 5th respectively. France finished the final race in sixth place.

Back in the harbour, France from Kedge Business School celebrated their victory on the pontoon after 18 outstanding races on the water. The sun was high to illuminate 'la Noevëillard'. The AGPM trophy for the general winner of the coastal races also belonged to France. The trophy of the City of Pornic was won by Switzerland, winner of the race of the day and also second in the general ranking. The USA finished third to complete the podium.
