Last Friday (November the 9th) during the executive meeting, the race committee gave the ranking of the 2012 Class40 Championship.
After a magnificent season full of regularity, The Classs40 N°115, skipped by Jörg RIECHERS, imposes itself logically. Winner on the Solidaire du Chocolat and the Atlantic Cup, the German skipper will have left the podium only once over five events in the Normandy Channel Race (DNF). He reached the second place in the Transat Québec-St Malo and the 3rd place in the Class40 World Championship. These performances underline a professionalism and a constancy quite exceptional for someone who has just launched his campaign “ Vendée Globe 2016”.
Sébastien ROGUES impresses on Eole Generation GDF Suez (N°105) climbing on the second step of the podium! 5 races for his first season in Class40, and he was five time in the top 10 and once on the third place of the podium (Transat Quebec Saint Malo). At 24 years old, Sébastien clearly shows that he will be a serious competitor for the title next season.
Participating in only 3 races, Aloys LE CLAQUIN, skipper of Class40 N°104, climb on the third step. His good results (6th in Solidaire du Chocolat, 8th in Québec Saint Malo and 2nd in Class40 World Championship) shows that Aloys stays among the favorites.
The prize giving ceremony will take place during the Paris Boat Show. In the meantime the complete ranking can be downloaded here!
