From May 22nd to 25th, the largest event in Europe for the meter class will take place on the Mediterranean in Toulon. Various meter boat classes will compete in a regatta. 12-meter boats with well-known names will be competing, including French Kiss, Kiwi Magic, and South Autralia.
And we, the 2.4mR sailors, are there. As of today, 22 boats in our class have registered: 12 French, 4 German, 2 Belgian, 2 British, 1 Irish, and 1 Swiss. This makes us the class with the most boats off Toulon.
The regatta will be the subject of intensive digital communication, sharing images from aboard these legendary and lesser-known boats in idyllic surroundings with sailors and sailing enthusiasts from all over the world. The races can be followed in real time by everyone thanks to the trackers installed on board that display the positions of the sailboats. From land or sea, the race can be experienced up close.
And the French Sailing Federation reminds us that such a sporting event is above all a place for exchange and participation, open and accessible to all. We live this as 2.4 sailors and as Action4Europe with full conviction.
We expect wonderful pictures that put our class in the right light.
Thanks to our sailors who made the long journey to Toulon for our class presentation. Good sportsmanship and lots of fun!
Apparently, you need an access key to track the regatta with eStela. Does anyone know what it is?
Hello Michael, it seems to me that you don't need a key. But at least yesterday, there were apparently only two 12s out, as the replay shows. There's still no replay today.
