Over the past few days we have been training really hard with some top teams in Marseille. Today we had our first big "test" as the practice race took place in moderate to light breeze. We had a good start and good first upwind. Then we decided to stop racing and go back to shore to get some much needed rest before the real racing starts tomorrow. 
This regatta is the biggest world championships in a decade and second biggest ever with 95 boats. We are really looking forward to start racing tomorrow and see if we are improving. it's going to be a challenge, and we are ready for it!
