Rouillard and Lagravière thus emerged victorious from a great fight with the duets Charlie Dalin-Paul Meilhat (Apivia) and Jérémie Beyou-Christopher Pratt (Charal).
In any case during the entire descent to Cape Verde.
Because then, the two crews could not keep up with the pace imposed by LinkOut.
Equipped with an efficient foiler, the sailboat spun at an average speed of 15.44 knots.
“This final under oppressive heat is endless.
Morgan and I were thinking to each other that we have never spent so much time at sea in these tropical latitudes.
We have had very little rain since the Doldrums ”, underlined a few hours before the finish line Rouillard, who had finished sixth in the Vendée Globe at the start of the year.
