Yesterday, thursday, day 3 of the Rรฉgates Royales de Cannes has started with a full cacophony of horns, bells, sirens saluting Coeur Vaillant docking out.
The 8MI owned by Philippe Monnet left the harbour under mainsail only, her crew standing in line for a very special tribute to Florence Arthaud, hundreds of sailors on the bows and spectators on the quai. It was a very emotional moment to say goodbye to the legendary French female sailor.
