I've been wondering why they didn't choose one of the Atlantic coast ports where there would likely be fewer issues with lack of wind. Picking a venue surrounded by mountains does seem to present the possibility of more problems. As a result only three of the classes are going to complete their programmes.

Nickyc707 382 Posted August 7 #122 Share Posted August 7 Checking back some of the sailing was located at Meulan near Paris in both 1900 and 1924. The rest was at Le Havre in 1900 and Brest in 1924, so both Atlantic ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshi 123 Posted August 7 #127 Share Posted August 7 The NZ commentator is going absolutely nuts about how bad Marseille is for a sailing regatta on TV lol. Saying it's the worst regatta he's been too lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicIRL 5,525 Posted August 7 #128 Share Posted August 7 Next time let’s just organise the sailing regatta on the west coast of Ireland ok. No shortage of winds there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,725 Posted August 7 #129 Share Posted August 7 Karma for scheduling this on the other side of France, when it should have been near Paris! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know all those films about the Roman Empire? How do they get around? Triremes. Rowing boats. Never sailing boats. So yeah, it’s been known about since around 500BC or so.
