CLASSIC SIX METRE NEWSLETTER

Flash – new Cannes yacht club organising metric yacht races in September
Despite the withdrawal of the Yacht Club of Cannes (YCC) as host for the 2008 European
Championships, the French Six Metre association (the UF6mJI) has maintained close contact
with its friends in Cannes, the supporters of metric class racing at Cannes. These latter have
since revived the Union du Yachting Cannois (www.uyc.fr) which had merged with another
club in 1930 to form the YCC.
The new UYC has just been authorised by the French affiliate of ISAF to organise a regatta
for all the metric classes from Saturday 21 st to Tuesday 24 th September, 2008, during the
week preceding when the Régates Royales are traditionally held.
This information was received by the UF6mJI. It will keep Six Metre owners informed of
developments regarding this regatta.
North American Six Metre Web site
The editors wish to congratulate Matt Cockburn for his exemplary site which he which he
continually improves. Under the “Fleets” heading, the North American boats are divided into
six fleets. For each fleet, the constituent boats are listed. Clicking on a boat name opens its
dedicated Web page. The pictures are high quality and the length of the texts is just right.
It’s a delight to wander through the site. (see www.6mrnorthamerica.com)
