Flying Phantom Trophee at Yacht Club de Geneve - Preview

by Alex Udin 4 Jun 2015 21:10 UTC 5-7 June 2015

At the end of the week from June 5th to the 7th, the Flying Phantom fleet will gather on Lake Geneva for two events: The Phantom Trophee by the Yacht Club de Geneve and the Geneva-Rolle-Geneva. These 3 days of the Flying Phantom Series Geneva 2015 will provide the perfect mix for the participants with 2 days of One Design racing and a long distance race.

A year ago the Flying Phantom sailed for the first time on Lake Geneva competing in the Geneva Rolle Geneva and round Lake Geneva. Following the same race course and starting line as the other boats competing in the Bol d'Or Mirabaud, they achieved an unofficial time of 6 hours and 21 minutes.

The Phantom Trophy, is the first foiling sport catamaran event ever organized on Lake Geneva. Organized by the Yacht Club de Geneve, the races will take place in front of the Yacht Club at "La Tour Carree" in Cologny. Depending on the weather conditions, the courses will be laid out to offer a reaching start with a clearing mark in the middle, a leeward gate, a windward gate and a reaching finish after rounding the clearing buoy.

On Saturday, the Flying Phantom fleet will also take part in the 51st edition of the Geneva Rolle Geneva, which is one of the classics and most popular long distance races on Lake Geneva. 250 multihulls and monohulls are expected to line up, including D35s, M2s...
