Thanks to google earth, I managed to plot the track of the previous edition 2018 of the Translemanique. Unfortunately wind data are missing, but we could easily guess from the track which kind of wind they got. I have decided to plot below, the first 4 surprises, here almost at the middle of the race, Nelson Mettraux on CER1 Sophies was the winner skipper, followed by Skirimm and Allegretto. It is impressive how close they sail all the regatta.
It is clear what everyone says, to avoid the middle of the lake in the gran lac.I see no real difference in the performance between who choose different side in the petit lac. It is clear that good skipper do a minimum number of tacks, that is also quite surprising. 
I can already see some reference waypoint for my navigation: A passage almost in the middle between Nyon and Yvoir, completely avoid the Thonon gulf, stay on the Evian side in the directrice NyonMontreux.
