First test on the racing circuit for the new Beneteau First 40
date:
27-04-2009
The third weekend of the Spring Series at La Trinite (Brittany) was the first racing test for the three First 40s Cornouaille Magic, Coup de Coeur and Courrier Zen.
Cornouaille Magic won the 6th Race in IRC, a very satisfactory ‘first outing’ result considering the light weather conditions (8 - 10 knots).
Courrier Zen, led by Gery Trentesaux, performed very well too but although marginally faster on the water than Cournouaille Magic, Trentesaux’s temporary handicap placed them behind the Cournouaille boys
All three skippers had very similar reactions following this first weekend racing……..a very organised deck and cockpit layout which is efficient to work in and good boat speed.
