Hello AJ
Have not decided yet as I have a full off-shore programme planned, but I would like to. Congratulations on buying Shaytana she is a beautiful and quick boat.

It would be good to see you there.
Thank you, she was not quick the other day, starter motor died but should be good for the summer season. She doesn't need too much work, can't wait to get her on the water.

I am planning to participate on 41 Hull 11 - Antares. Still working on crew members and details to sail her from La Trinité to Cowes...

Fair wind.

To all,

I have registered Antares (S&S 41, hull 11) for the European Swan cup mid-July 11.

I do hope I will see numerous S&S Swans participating as well.

I will sail Antares from Brittany (France) late June / early July to be in Cowes on time (hopefully!).

Kind regards.

Having checked on The Royal Yacht squadron web-site today, the entry list currently comprises 23 boats, with a number of S&S!

Fair wind.

Hi Christophe,

It very nice to see that you have entered the regatta and I look forward to meeting you in Cowes Yacht Haven or the Royal Yacht Squadron for the opening drinks.

Kind regards,

Dear Christophe
Towards the end of the Swan European Regatta, my 38 Billyon and your beautiful blue hulled Antares found ourselves in company. On the first race of the last day we had a rather excitable Dragon sailor calling the tactics, and I fear he was rather overzealous in calling our intentions at the top mark.
Please accept my apologies if he upset you in any way.

I hope you had an uneventful journey home to France
Yours Aye
Alasdair

Andrew,

I am responding very late and I do apologize for this. We had a wonderful time participating in the Swan European Regatta and I do remember having sailed next to Billyon. the 36s are wonderful boats and all of them were so nice that it was difficult to conceive any anger whatsoever. What a gorgious event?

With Antares we had a fast Channel crossing post regatta with good winds. I have sailed 1,300 nautical miles over the summer and all the family enjoyed it very much. I should have kept looking at the posts on this site. We would have shared a beer. Next time?

Fair wind!

Christophe
