The Corsica per Due 2002.
A report from Sverre Samdahl racing on 176.

According to Sverre, this race needs more participants.
And the race earns that. As it is a good race.

I hope to get more reports like this later in the season.
Thank you Sverre.
Diabolo FRA303 gives us continuous pressure after start for 8 hours until we take different routes in the night
Corsica emerges in the morning
Resting after a night of intense fight in the leader group, in moonlight
Going north after passing the southern point of Corsica, the wind pics up
Finally taking off. Batteries are low and being recharged.
The big spinnaker is too much even with one reef in the mainsail, the bow goes to much down
Later we reduced to two reefs in the main and the small spi
Full control at 18 knots but no sleep all night.
Finally arrived at Lavagna second, 15 minutes after Arké ITA342.
