After the collision, the sailor discovered that the nose section of his yacht on the starboard side is no more significant portion of the skin. Now Josse, who was one of the favorites of the race, will have to stay at port for repair.

“He entered into a racing rhythm, he did not have any technical problems on Board. Everything was going well,” says the managing Director of the team Josse Dardashti Cyril (Cyril Dardashti).

Unexpected critical failure occurred and aboard another trimaran from division ULTIME — Sodebo Ultim yacht Frenchman Tom Kovila (Thomas Coville). The boat was broken and the front cross beam. To repair the athlete was also forced to go in La Coruna.
