The 85 boats started the race at 15:30. No penalties were given by the referees. Once the start was given, the 170 skippers headed for a clearing buoy before heading for the Bay of Biscay.
News from the skippers:
No. 1067, NICOMATIC, skippered by Caroline Boule and Benoît Marie, turned back at the entrance to the bay due to a problem with a torn mainsail. The skippers managed to find another mainsail and set off again.
No. 1003, EUROPE, skippered by Giulia Chiara Farnetani and Thiemo Huuk, retired due to a broken bowsprit and unusable max spinnaker.
Withdrawal of n°965, MAJOR TOM, skippered by Eliaz Morineau and Maxime Salle, due to too much damage to the Mini. The boat is heading back to La Trinité.
