Sprints in France

[Andrew Hannah]

Is is true there's a Sprint 15 fleet at Lake Annecy in France? About 10 or so.

David Lloyd has made an interesting post on the Sprint 15 boat database re 1905. He explains 1905 has now joined the Bordeaux fleet.

This could mean there are now two Sprint fleets in France: Bordeaux and Lake Annecy. Does anybody know how to contact them, presumably by someone who can speak french. Not me! Maybe Tim DdeB will have an address.

Also, should they be put on the "hybrid" map with a little flag?

Only too happy to add them to the clubs map I just need to know where they are. The satellite pictures aren't high res enough to spot the boats in the boat park like I usually do.

The fleet in Bordeaux is about 8 summer boats. I have written to Martin to update him as to ur whereabouts.

Hi Chris,

Eight boats in Bordeaux is great to hear. I wonder what club they sail from. I tried the co-ordinates. All I could see was a vineyard beside a wine lake.

Anyhow, you have done well to establish what you have. Please keep us posted on gathering any further information, especially if you manage to obtain any contacts.

It would also be great if Tim could make a posting here.

Hi Andrew
I have sent Martin a lot more detail.
If only that lake was full of wine. It is actually about 7km x 3km. That's a lot of wine!!
