has this been a poor choice of venue? is there never any wind in Marseille? 

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.

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.

You know all those films about the Roman Empire?  How do they get around?  
 

Triremes.  Rowing boats.  Never sailing boats.  :teacher:

 

So yeah, it’s been known about since around 500BC or so.
