The Massilia Cup took place from April 4th to 6th on the Olympic Games waters off Lacydon, France, hosted by the very capable RC/PRO team at Lacydon Nautique.

Nearly 110 boats, including nine J/70s, participated in this first leg of the Coupe de France. Conditions were perfect for the three-day-long regatta. Friday started with 15-20 kts southeast winds, then slightly less for Saturday and Sunday's finale.

After six races, Xavier Moulin's POLLUX team won with four race wins and had a total of six points net. Taking a well-deserved silver medal was Soren Bernillon's MAIRE with 9 pts net and rounding out the podium was Lionel Tissot's BLACK BOARD with 13 pts net.
