The 44 Class40s took the start of the Transat Jacques Vabre Normandie Le Havre this Sunday, October 29, 2023. At 1:41 pm, the fleet started in a wind ed 25 knots established. Direction, a buoy at Cap de la Hève, rolled up first by the duo A.Beccaria/ N.Andrieu (Alla Grande Pirelli). A magnificent show but a crossover that caused, unfortunately, the first clashes at the buoy and 3 returns to the port...
Due to the bad weather of the week, the Class40s will not directly reach Fort de France but are heading to Lorient, which the first should join Monday evening, after about 36 hours of racing.
