Y mensaje de Bernard Stamm:
"Desde la salida, hemos hecho 42 viradas. Cada vez, desplazamos las velas en el interior del barco de un lado a otro. Pesan 300 kg. Desde ayer a mediodía pues, hemos transportado 12,6 Toneladas de vela. Me preguntaba porqué estábamos un poco cansados?..."

Spindrift racing crossed the finish line at 02.53 local time in the 45th edition of Rolex Fastnet Race. It was a fiercly fought battle at close quarters right down to the wire against Spindrift 2's main rival, the maxi Trimaran Banque Populaire VII.

...........The 605 nm course, starting in Cowes, rounding the Fastnet rock and finishing in Plymouth Sound, was completed in 38 hours 53 minutes and 58 seconds.
.....Yann Guichard, co-skipper of the Maxi Spindrift 2 "The decisive moment of the race was here at the finish. We were in close contact throughout the race with Banque Populaire VII
........No less than 330 boats remain on the course this evening
......The crew on the maxi Spindrift 2 for the Rolex Fastnet: Dona Bertarelli – Skipper, Yann Guichard – Skipper, Xavier Revil, Erwan Tabarly, Antoine Carraz, Christophe Espagnon, Nicolas Texier, Jean Baptiste le Vaillant, Thierry Douillard, Sébastien Marsset, Thomas Rouxel, François Morvan, Simone Gaeta, Erwan Israel.
.....
...........In theory the bigger boat should be faster, but Guichard says that in the 18-19 knot winds they have, the smaller Banque Populaire benefits from being lighter. "We are too heavy, so it is really close. We gybed first and she gybed just to windward, so it is like a match race - it is definitely not over yet."
Now she's cracked off, Spindrift 2 is making 35-36 knots of boat speed with an ETA into Plymouth of 02:30 BST tomorrow morning. Sadly as there has been less reaching this year, this will be substantially outside of her 32 hour 48 minute race record which this boat set two years ago.

.............
"We just went round the Fastnet – it was nice and sunny with about 20 knots of breeze and now things have speeded up. We are doing about 26 knots but the big trimarans ahead are up to 33 knots.(Oman Sail's flagship MOD70)
