With winds in the high teens on Lake Geneva, the TF35 fleet launched into a blustery opening day of the TF35 Maily Grand Prix.
Across four races, Yann Guichard’s Sails of Change 8 set the pace, never finishing lower than second.
Race 2 saw Sails of Change 8 covered on the first beat by newcomers X-Wing, who matched them rounding the windward gate.
In Race 3, Sails of Change 10 and Ylliam 17 led at the windward mark and looked set for a one-two finish, but a technical issue dropped Sails of Change 10 from contention.
Host team, Julien Firmenich’s Ylliam 17, took the win, while Sails of Change 8, Zen Too and Ylliam XII – Comptoir Immobilier were able to overtake.
