Nico Honor of RS Sailing France puts the Aero 9 through its paces at their Carnac base (after 1:40s)

CARNAC, FRANCE - Christmas down-winder! Unseasonal warm weather saw Gilles Peeters blast his RS Aero downwind from the French sailing mecca of Carnac, past La Trinite, then on to Arradon. Over 2 hours of downwind heaven, zig zaging through the islands! It was so hot he even needed a little swim! What an awesome day out - and in short sleeves too! His GPS track shows him passing La Trinite after just 12 minutes! The voyage looks like good gybing practice - avoiding the rocks maybe?
