Fleet keep their heads down and buckle up

Ten days into racing on the “Brest Atlantiques” and it is like a re-start from Rio with MACIF doing a pit-top, Sodebo Ultim 3 rerouting to avoid bad weather and all keeping the breaks to avoid exposing their boats from being pummelled by rough seas. The fleet is currently led by Maxi Edmond de Rothschild and conditions should become more manageable within two days.

The race is back on!

What a day of twists and turns for “Brest Atlantiques”! Maxi Edmond de Rothschild were the first to pass through the Cagarras Islands today at 12:16, followed by Actual Leader in second. Sodebo Ultim 3, who at one point had taken the lead, were thinking long-term and decided to alter their course in order to better preserve their boat. MACIF, docked in Rio since Wednesday evening for a pitstop, set sail once again at 16:10.

MACIF approaches Rio tonight for a pitstop

Following Maxi Edmond de Rothschild’s pitstop on Tuesday, MACIF remains in the lead of “Brest Atlantiques”, but tonight will be making a stop themselves in Rio De Janeiro for repairs to their central hull rudder. Sodebo Ultim 3 is expected about five hours later in the Cagarras Islands and should be able to take the lead, with Actual Leader and Maxi Edmond de Rothschild following behind.
