Fantastic 4th for Lloyd Thornburg's Phaedo in the Genevé-Rolle-Genevé Race

by Rachel Fallon-Langdon 3 Jun 2018 17:18 AEST 2 June 2018

There were hundres of boats on Lake Geneva for the start line of the annual Genevé-Rolle-Genevé Race, which takes the boats a third of the way down lake Geneva and back.

The day had typical lake conditions of light wind, where the race at times came to a standstill. Lloyd and his team of Chris Draper, Ed Smyth, Peter Greenhalgh, Haylee Outterridge and Julien Cressant, persevered through all the wind shifts and shadows, and finished in the fantastic position of fourth.
