The Bol d’Or Mirabaud, organized by the Cercle de la Voile- Société Nautique de Genève in Switzerland, is the most prestigious inland lake regatta in the world. Started in 1939, it welcomes monohulls and multihulls each year on Lake Geneva, starting in Geneva, Switzerland. 567 boats (about 2,500+ sailors) were racing this year; over 17 nations were represented amongst the entries. The 79th edition of the 123 kilometer (66.5 nautical mile) race track from Geneva to Le Bouveret and back was essentially an east to west and back course. The forecast could not have been better for the thousands of sailors, which was for a sustained wind of 15-20 knots from the northeast, plus sunshine. In the “small” TCF4 class, the winner boat-for-boat and on handicap was the J/70 CDE.CH, helmed by Marc Stern. They were 105th in the overall real-time ranking of 567 boats. Taking second in their class was yet another J/70, Frederick Hedlund’s AGERA 3. When the dust settled and all fleet results were in, the Overall Handicap winner in the ACVL handicap ranking for the 500+ keelboats that sailed the race (excluding multihulls) was Stern’s J/70 CDE.CH. And, third was Hedlund’s J/70 AGERA 3. The ACVL ranking is based on handicapped time: each boat is assigned a coefficient based on its characteristics, which is multiplied by the actual race time. Apparently, never in the history of the Bol d’Or Mirabaud has a one-design won and taken two of the top three positions overall.
