Cannes No wind today on the Bay of Cannes. We have been out here on the water since 0930 hoping for some wind, but nothing ever materialized just some rain. So the 12 Meter World Championship is a non-event as you need to complete five races to have a series. The owners will get together […]

When you think about […]
