Partner & Partners Win Sixth French National Title!
After his 2nd place at Cala Galera at the 3rd stage of the Volvo Cup,
Philippe Ligot with the Partner & Partners team won the Melges 24 french
national at Deauville last week. They took victory in no less than 10 of the 11 races!
The week's conditions have been great for this type of racing. With a medium
wind, breeze and light winds “P&P Team” were really able to show off their
potential.
“For us It was a very good result. The race zone in Deauville is very nice,
especially thanks to the complexity of the current and the very shifty wind
along the coast.” - Philippe Ligot
DRP/ Partner & Partners really made the most of the mistakes made by their
rivals to round each mark in front. With this victory Philippe and his team
win a 6th national title
