- 11th Hour Racing Team – Alaka’i officially abandoned the race after dismasting
- Sodebo Ultim 3 is being assessed following last night’s collision with a UFO
11th Hour Racing Team – Alaka’i have officially abandoned the Transat Jacques Vabre after yesterday’s dismasting. The rest of the fleet has now split up as the four different classes head south at decent speed.
Last night at 01:00 (French time), Sodebo Ultim 3 hit a unidentified floating object (UFO), damaging the starboard foil.
Thomas Coville and Thomas Rouxel are fine and are safe in the boat. They are currently continuing their race but at a slower pace.
Their rivals in front are deciding on different options as they approach Madeira.
SVR – Lazartigue and Actual Ultim 3 have chosen to pass to the east of the island, while Maxi Edmond de Rothschild and Banque Populaire XI will pass to the west.
Armel Le Cléac’h and Kevin Escoffier have managed to catch up with the group. The next few hours should be calmer, before picking up speed again as they approach the Canaries, which they should reach by midnight.
