In the bag this weekend for Okalys?

Nicolas Grange and Loick Peyron's Decision 35 hold handsome lead in Challenge Ferrier Lullin

In Switzerland the Challenge Ferrier Lullin for the Decision 35 catamarans continues this weekend with the four race Open de Versoix.

At present Nicolas Grange's Okalys, on which Loick Peyron normally calls tactics, maintains the lead of the annual championship, with only Ernesto Bertarelli's Alinghi still in contention for the top spot. With two races still to go after this Okalys needs to beat Alinghi to take the annual championship. This will be easier said than done as aside from Bertarelli and his cat crew, Jean-François Demole's on Cadence and Philippe Cardis, (where Steve Ravussin is calling tactics) on Ferrier Lullin are improving their results.

Sunday's racing will also see Russell Coutts returning to the helm of Bank Gonet & Co. However Peyron and Alain Gautier will not be competing this weekend.
