Louis Vuitton Trophy - 05/11/09 - Dockside

Practice sessions were scheduled every morning and afternoon this week, but the wind and the sea state built quickly on the Bay of Angels off Nice, causing enough concern for the organisers to call off sailing for the day.

Were trying to make the boats as even and reliable as we can make them, said Laurent Esquier, CEO of the World Sailing Teams Association for the Nice event. We have 40 shore crew here to work on the boats and sails, but the less damage the better.

The draw for boats and ends of the starting line will take place tomorrow evening at an opening ceremony at the Nice Opera House, and is expected to be attended by the Mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, who also holds the titles of president of the region Nice Côte dAzur and minister of industry for France.

The first warning signal is scheduled for 0900 on Saturday.
