The SNG Opening Grand Prix on Friday marked the start of the fifteenth edition of the D35 Championship. All nine crews entered in 2017 were present for this first showdown.
Organized by the Société Nautique de Genève, this season-opening meeting allowed the crews involved in the D35 Trophy to reconnect after the winter and spring training.
With eleven races contested over two days, the D35s have started their season in excellent conditions. Ylliam – Comptoir Immobilier came in second behind Alinghi.
Bertrand Demole, owner and helmsman of Ylliam – Comptoir Immobilier was also delighted. “The aim was to do as well as last year in any case. In addition, it’s the first time we’ve been on the podium at the first Grand Prix. So we’re really happy. There was wind, we sailed well, we are relaxed and fast. The team is tight, and we are having fun sailing together. “.
