Thirteen teams participated in the second weekend of the Challenge J80 Trinitaine, racing in very tough weather conditions. On Saturday in light, shifty six to twelve knot NW winds off La Trinite, marked by lots of current, the teams spent a lot of time training on their maneuvers; with starts, mark roundings and leeward gate roundings. On Sunday, under bright spring sunshine and fifteen knot NE winds, the Race Committee sent the teams around a one nautical mile windward-leeward course. At the end of the day, it was COYOTE that won the day with a 4-1-1 record. J'BOULET was second with a 5-2-2 tally and third lay JALUCYNE with a 4-3-3 series score.
