After 600 intense miles between Saint-Tropez, Corsica and Elba, the fleet has crossed the finish line!
Mikael Mergui and Richard Robini win, for the second year running, the Paprec 600 after 3 days 14 hours and 11 minutes of racing. They are the first to return to St Tropez in any category!
The Franco-Italian duo Luca Rosetti and Yaël Poupon, on the latest Class40 (Maccaferi Futura, #212) crossed the finish line around two hours later.
Ha Plus Pme, skippered by François Verdier and Pierre-Laurent GArnero, put in a superb performance, finishing on the third step of the podium and first “pointu”.
Mikael Mergui
“A Dantesque edition: from flat calm to 40 knots of wind, sun, storms, cold, heat... Tomorrow, we'll feel the aches and pains. But tonight, we're savoring it. We've won this race metre after metre. The boat held up, and Tintin and I are proud.”
Luca Rosetti
“First race, first podium! It was a very tough regatta characterized by large areas of little wind, very difficult to interpret.”
