IMOCAs raring to go
At the start of the race, one class was missing. For safety reasons, the Race Directors decided to leave the IMOCAs moored up to avoid seeing part of the fleet blocked by a low-pressure system in the middle of the week, a situation from which they could not escape. While the Class40 boats were able to set sail to Lorient, their big sisters, the 60-foot boats, are waiting for a break in the weather, the timing of which remains uncertain.
Three classes enjoy great start to Transat Jacques Vabre Normandie Le Havre, IMOCAs remain in port.
Strong, gusty winds and choppy seas made for a spectacular start to the 16th edition of the Transat Jacques Vabre Normandie Le Havre for three of the four race fleets today. While the ULTIM, Ocean Fifty and Class 40 races set off on time, in 20-25kts the 40 boat IMOCA fleet remain in Le Havre after their start was postponed due to forecasted storm force winds.
