In his meticulous preparation for the Vendée Globe, France’s Armel Le Cléac’h proves he is in the hunt.
Less than 100 days remain before the Everest of Sailing kicks off, and the entry list is set with 28 skippers from 10 countries.
IMOCA 60 Maître Coq is put through its paces in preparation for the Vendee Globe later this year.
Beyou’s IMOCA 60 “Maître CoQ” crossed the finish line off Les Sables d’Olonne, France after sailing 3460 miles at an average speed of 14.85 knots.
After collisions knocked out several boats from the IMOCA fleet, crews are pulling back onto the race course and heading for France.
17 IMOCA skippers are queuing up in New York for the final chance to put themselves and their boats to the test before the Vendee Globe.
The foiler Banque Populaire holds the leads in the Transat Bakerly, but there are 450 miles of light winds to go before the finish line in New York.
With more than half the race to go, there has been no definitive leader in the IMOCA fleet with VincentRiou’s PRB hanging tight with the foilers.
For Loick Peyron, the 25th Transat Bakerly is about getting back to the roots of sailing, for the IMOCA 60s, it’s a chance to flex their new foils.
PRB is back in the water after a winter refit and spring training has begun to prepare for the Vendee Globe.
The winter refits are complete after a string of less than promising results in the fall, and the IMOCA teams have made the final decisions on foils.
You saw the keelwalk, then the mast walk, but you have to see the biggest stunt by Alex Thomson yet, the Skywalk.
