C'est quand même plus joli que le tout blanc "tupperware".

Laser 4000 European Championships – Follonica
Tuscany, Italy
3
rd
-6
th July 2013
Location:
The sailing club, lega navale Follonica, is positioned on the edge of the Sterpaia natural
protected park just north of the Tuscan coastal town of Follonica. This area is a very popular
holiday destination for Italian families during August when much of Italy slows down. With
the Laser 4000 Europeans timed at the beginning of July we’ll have the great weather and
all the facilities without the crowds!
For non-sailing friends and family there’s plenty of other activities on offer (including sun
worshipping!) and wonderful ancient towns to visit such as San Gimignano or Castiglione
della Pescaia or the magical Terme di Saturnia. Further afield is Florence – definitely
daytrippable (2 hours one way) or the Island of Elba (think tagging on a few days holiday!).
Sailing Club Website: www.gvlnifollonica.it/
Location:http://www.gvlnifollonica.it/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=28&I
temid=53Conditions / Racing
A strong turnout from the Rome and Milan (Como) 4k fleets is expected. Looking like a
cracking, Bandol like destination - good wind, great food, beautiful location, sailing pedigree,
what more could we want! Just need the French and UK fleet to turn out in good
numbers!
Sailing condition details from last year’s Dart 18 worlds:
www.dart18worlds2012.com/SailLogisticsWeather.php
The entry fee is a very reasonable 180 Euros per boat and includes all racing organisation,
food at the end of the sailing (i.e. directly after coming ashore) and prizes. Depending on
the number of entries, the club may arrange an evening meal. NoR to follow!
The other thing you must bring is a copy of the boat insurance certificate. Unlike in the UK,
in Italy if you want to enter an event then you need to present the insurance docs at
registration – no papers then no entry – until you get Mr. Noble to fax them a copy.

Socials
As at all Euro Champs, evening entertainment usually consists of finding a restaurant that
can seat the fleet at short notice then decamping to a bar somewhere to discuss the days
racing etc. etc!

Travelling through France and Italy you will have to pay road tolls on the motorways, with
barriers every now and again.
Other Driving Tips
• Trailer Bearings – get them checked, a break at 4am in the middle of France is not what
the doctor ordered.
• Spare Wheel, and check you have a spanner that works on these wheel nuts
• Emergency Kit – warning triangle, first aid kit, headlamp deflectors – all legal requirements
in certain countries you might pass through
• Insurance & Recovery – need to get sorted. Currently the only European breakdown
service that seems to cover trailers is Direct Line Rescue
• Make sure you have nothing out behind the trailer boards as the Italian Police might well
stop you, as this is a trivial matter they are very hot on!Accommodation

Après une sortie avec des claques de 30nds avec Iris, quelques dessalages et une marche du bateau étrange; je me suis aperçu que j'avais un très mauvais réglage de quête...
Si vous faite refaire des Haubans à la norme constructeur, attention à la hauteur des cadènes (ex: jour de nav quête à 7m38 au lieu de 7m29... :o )

On en parlait à propos du réglage du nouveau RS700 de Cedric.
Le réglage de quête est souvent méconnu/négligé, alors que c'est un des plus important non seulement sur la vitesse/cap mais surtout sur le comportement du bateau.
Un mat trop droit va rendre le bateau rétif, difficile à faire planer, bourrant dans l'eau.
En cinquo c'était un des réglages que l'on contrôlait systématiquement alors que je n'ai quasiment jamais vu un skiffeur avec le décamètre en main.
De plus pour éviter les problèmes de longueur de manille de drisse, (en particulier quand on change son mat, sa drisse, sa manille) la bonne méthode consiste :
1> Attacher votre décamètre à la drisse.
2> Hisser la drisse jusqu'à obtenir une certaine distance repère au niveau du vis de mulet (par exemple 5m00).
3> Sans toucher à la drisse, mesurer la quête par rapport à un point donné du tableau AR (par ex. 7m38).
Utiliser toujours ce même mode opératoire (même distance de calibration au vis de mulet), pour comparer vos quêtes d'une sortie à l'autre.

Par ailleurs, le mot même de réglage me semble parfois galvaudé, dès lors qu'on ne règle pas la variable en fonction de paramètres selon une loi clairement identifiée et validée sur l'eau par les ressentis et les performances.
En MPS, On a une plage autour de 7240 mm de quête de 8 cm max, qu'on valide selon la méthode que tu présentes, et une plage de jeu de tension de gréement limitée, quasi nulle.
Plus encore que le tuning guide, c'est l'affichage des mesures des champions sur les grands championnats qui poussent à rester dans des standards assez statiques. A ce sujet, la victoire de gabarits différents de Stenhouse ces deux dernières années a montré que d'autres voies sont possibles, mais qu'elles restent anecdotiques.
