https://yacht-express.net/half-way-behind/ Read more]]> Completed a 13-day marathon race Brest Atlantiques the 14,000 miles, which involved four Maxi-trimaran class Ultim.

We are a few days of the race participants did not write, and during this time they all took turns going around the island Cagarras near Rio and taking a course on South Africa, underwent a considerable distance. Helped by the fact that there were moments when the speed of the tailwind was close to 50 knots!

The status quo has long been restored: the pace once again sets the Maxi trimaran Edmond de Rothschild (skippers Frank Kamma/ Charles Cadrele). 130 miles behind the leader Macif (françois Gabaret /Gwenola the Gain). This is followed by Sodebo Ultim 3 Volumes Coville and Jean-Luc of Nelia behind “Rothschild” 325 miles, and finally, the Actual Leader Yves Le Blevio and Alex Pella (392 miles).

Incident on Board the four trimarans not, that is certainly good, only here to really talk about – and mchu mchu. And, by the way, Maxi Edmond de Rothschild, according to the race website https://www.brestatlantiques.com, “Rothschild” was already 6995 miles. That is still almost half way behind us!

      PRB and Charal are 15 hours behind
      The three winners of the transatlantic race Transat Jacques Vabre in the IMOCA60 class became known.

We have already told you that Charlie Dalen and Yann Elie won in the IMOCA60 class on the Apivia yacht, showing the result – 13 days, 12 hours and 8 minutes. Well, who finished in the Bay of All Saints of the Brazilian city of Salvador after them?

The second and third prize winners had to wait a long time, but they came one by one. In second place are Kevan Escoffier and Nicolas Lunvan on a PRB yacht (built in 2009, and was equipped with foyles last year) – 14 days, 3 hours, 49 minutes and 42 seconds. And almost immediately the former leader – Charal (Jeremy Beiu and Christopher Pratt) finished – 14 days, 3 hours 56 minutes exactly.

Is it necessary to clarify that all six are French?

      The first day ended after the 14th race of the Transat Jacques Vabre was launched in Le Havre. Recall that the participants have to overcome 4350 nautical miles to Salvador, the capital of the Brazilian state of Bahia.

https://yacht-express.net/transat-jacques-vabre-behind-day/ Read more]]> Ended the first day after Le Havre was the start of the 14th race of the Transat Jacques Vabre. Recall that participants have to overcome 4350 nautical miles from Salvador, the capital of the Brazilian state of Bahia.

In the race are the court’s three classes – class 40 (27 boats), Multi50 (3) and IMOCA60 (29). However, it is more accurate to say “were” because one boat has already been forced to go the distance. Talking about yacht Lamotte – Module Creation, which shortly after the start, took the lead in the class 40,and then gradually increased its advantage, but… At 8.50 Moscow time the crew of the Briton Luke berry and Frenchman Tanguy Le Turke – got in touch with the race organizers to say they have lost the mast. Details of how and why it happened is still there. We know one thing: berry and Le Turke alive and well.

Now in this class the leading British crew of the yacht Leyton – Fabienne Delahay and Sam Goodchild. During the day they covered 280 miles at an average speed of 10.7 per node.

The most attention, as expected, confined to the yachts of the IMOCA60 class. Ahead one of the favorites is Сharal Jeremy Bau and Christopher Pratt (during the day, the leaders overcame a 371 mile at an average speed of 14.3 knots). They are 10 miles ahead of 11th Hour Racing’s Charlie Enright, and Pascal Bidegorry.

The yacht Hugo Boss (Alex Thomson and Neil MacDonald) chose to go to the North and a day later after start occupies the 8th place in the class, trailing the leader is 17.7 miles.
