From today's Scuttlebutt Europe.....Alan

****************************************************************************



The 20 Formula 18 crews completed their circumnavigation of Corsica on

Saturday, a 285 nm journey. Wind and weather conditions varied wildly

throughout the legs, reaching 45 knots one day at Cargèse / Ile Rousse. It

was announced that there would be a second running of the EuroCorsica race

in 2003, and two other events, one in Europe, the second in a tropical

location, to constitute a Word Cup for the fast-growing Formula 18 Class.



Top five final places:

1. Eric Proust / Yann Andrillon, Team Proust Helly Hansen, FRA

2. Pierre Sicouri / Emmanuel Boulogne, Team Ispirix, FRA

3. Jorg Gosche / Sebastien Dohrendorf, Team Gosche 1, GER

4. James Baekler / Marco Bani, Team Hobie Shop, FRA

5. Jacques Lemaire / Bruno Hock, Bruxelles Yacht Club, BEL
