Charles Caudrelier wins the first solo round-the-world race in a trimaran. The Finisterian completed an almost faultless round the world aboard his Maxi Edmond de Rothschild, despite the difficult weather conditions.
The skipper - who celebrated his 50th birthday on Monday - crossed the line, 50 days 19 hours 7 minutes and 42 seconds after leaving Brittany. “It’s a great moment for all of us, for the team, for Charles, for our shipowner,” said Cyril Dardashti, general director of the Gitana team.
