Transat Café L'Or Re-Starts
The TRANSAT CAFÉ L'OR has re-started in La Coruña for Class40 and IMOCA sailors, with leaders positioning for optimal racing.
The compression at the Canary Islands, affecting the IMOCA leaders due to very light winds, was anticipated before the TRANSAT CAFÉ L’OR started.
The sailors are now navigating through these challenging conditions, with the first team to reach the trade winds likely to gain a critical advantage.
Ocean Fifty Class
In the Ocean Fifty class, SVR Lazartigue has repositioned well, and it is expected to extend its lead in the ULTIM race, while Class 40 competitors prepare for a restart from La Coruña.
ULTIM Category
In the ULTIM category, Tom Laperche and Franck Cammas aboard SVR Lazartigue have successfully manoeuvred north of the Cape Verde Islands.
This strategic move has put them approximately 200 nautical miles ahead of their nearest rival, Sodebo Ultim 3, allowing them to optimise their route towards the Doldrums, which they anticipate reaching shortly.
