Questions for our skippers
It is wonderful hearing the skippers laugh and see the smiles are back, now that the start of the race is drawing near. Before setting sail, Clément Giraud (Coup de pouce - Giffard manutention), Jean-Baptiste Gellée (Primonial) and Achille Nebout (Amarris) answered some questions posted on Internet. They talked about their life on board, their favourite podcast and the little treats they have with them.
For the IMOCAs a big start is on the cards for Tuesday morning. Racing resumes with restart Monday for the Class40 and Ocean Fifty.
Following the passage of storms Ciaran and Domingos, at the start of next week a suitable weather window is set to open which will allow all of the record fleet of 40 IMOCAs to start the Transat Jacques Vabre Normandie Le Havre two handed race to Martinique on Tuesday morning.

Banque Populaire XI still in control
Banque Populaire XI is still leading the ULTIM fleet as they enter the Doldrums. The Intertropical Convergence Zone lies about 60 miles ahead of the leading boat this morning and does not appear to be very active today. The leader will be the first to slow down, but may well extend her lead as she picks up the SE’ly trade winds on the other side. Those further back may find the crossing more difficult.
