Tour de France à la Voile 2016 - Hyères - Coastal Race

Crédit Mutuel won Act 8 coastal race in Hyère After a tough few days in the Med as they arrived from their home land of Brittany, Crédit Mutuel de Bretagne snatched a clear victory today in the bay of Hyères, and although today’s result doesn’t change the leaderboard, it gives the team a much welcome gain of confidence, as Damien Iehl explained after racing : « we are so happy. This is exactly what we needed. The race was long and difficult but in the end, the wind built up and it was so nice being in the lead. All around the course Fred and Mathieu managed to chose the right tacks, and we crossed ahead at the second last mark. Grandeur Nature also sailed very well today so we are only gain one point on them, but this victory is great for our team ». __________________________________________________________________ Each day, several Diam 24 will be equipped with on-board devices for sound and image link-ups.

Since 1978, thousands of sailors have discovered the French coast, got pushed back by the Channel currents, asked their position to Brittany's fishermen and heeled under the Mistral wind. From a joyful racing-cruising event, the Tour de France à la Voile turned into a great offshore sailing school for many young and talented sailors, and then a high-level competition with great champions taking part.
