where in the world

My attention to this may be spotty over the weekend.
Assuming my answer is sufficient for Shakel,
Dogwatch: Why don't you take the your turn that was skipped?
Thanks!

It is https://dewijdeaa.nl/ "Zeilcentrum de Wijde Aa" and sounds idyllic. I believe this is the same windwill @dgibbsmi located.

@Schakel, you were a bit out of turn as the idea is if you solve the previous puzzle, then you get to set the next one. But I didn't mind. It gets increasingly hard to come up with good ideas, not too hard, not too easy.

Here's another puzzle. A nice international fleet. Name the host club and for bonus points, the class.

South-eastern France?

 

[dogwatch]

France, yes. You could argue south-eastern.

 

[tillerman]

South-eastern France?

Hmmm. Is "argue" a clue?
This must be the Argue18 French Nationals sailed on Lac Argue.
No it isn't.
Yes it is.
No it isn't.
Yes it is.
No it isn't.
Yes it is.

 

[dogwatch]

Argue isn't a clue. It's in eastern France. Not southern. Kind of middle as far as north/south goes.

No. it isn't.

 

[dogwatch]

That's not an argument, it's a contradiction.

No it isn't.

They often have Jeanneau Microsails racing at the Société des Régates à Voile on Lac d'Annecy in eastern France.

 

[dogwatch]

Very good. Strictly, it's a Micro Cupper championship, of which the Jeanneau Microsail is an example. It looks like a fun class, we don't have it in the UK.

I've been driven many times past that club as the ski transfer buses from Geneva airport to the Vanoise resorts go right past it. It's been inactive (winter) but I've always wanted to sail there.

Over to you.

No boats in the photo, but there are many in this city:

I could argue it's NE Spain.

 

[dogwatch]

But could you sing it? This time the fat lady is starting it.

Hmm... Freddy Mercury must be a clue. Is the tower in Bohemia?

 

[dogwatch]

I'll leave clues now to PaulK.

 

[PaulK]

Gee...
Here's one:

(hint, I mean.)

(hint, I mean.)

Is this a hint to the Freddy Mercury/ wobbly building mystery or a completely new witw mystery?

 

[PaulK]

Is it a wobbly building or could you argue that it's art? Post #6817 is a hint for #6812

 

[dogwatch]

Fairly sure I know what and where #6812 is but only tenuous ideas on #6817.
