NEW YORK, Oct. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The 29th edition of the Cannes Chopard IceCube CH-5 Royales has ended as a light and irregular wind day, with a 10 miles regatta, for the last stage of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge Circuit 2007. The 80 sea-ladies left the Cannes Vieux Port at 10 and kept on waiting until 1 p.m. to start the last race: a fundamental manche specially for the Panerai Trophy Classification to be awarded today to the winners of the whole 2007 circuit.The wind has always been lighter than 5 knots, changing direction, on a track inside the Cannes Gulf with the Chopard Lady Quartz Watch CH-45 buoy in front of Lerin Island. A spectacular performance with close turning and some "nearing" causing small breakages.
Bad luck for the 12 Metres which never sailed because of too weak wind. The final prize has not been awarded as only 3 valid races had been completed (being 5 the minimum), however the celebrative party has been greatly enjoyed. In the Grand Prix category a Brazilian victory for Wright on White (on board the brothers Chopard Mille Miglia Alfa Romeo CH-20 and Lars Grael), before Kookaburra II (James Spithill at the helm) and Egdat Cato's Hissar. Fourth place for Bill Koch's Kiwi Magic with Paul Cayard.THE PANERAI CLASSIC YACHTS CHALLENGE 2007
