Gitana 13 in refit in Hong Kong 20/06/2008 - 11:07 - The Gitana Team couldn’t have imagined a better start to the season... Full house for Gitana 13 in its record campaign and success for Gitana Eighty in its programme of races, with the notable inclusion of Loïck Peyron’s historic triple in The Transat, rewarding the work of the whole team. The fleet in the colours of the LCF Rothschild Group clearly has the wind on their tail and has no intention of stopping there! Whilst Gitana 13 is benefiting from a few weeks well earned rest prior to setting out on its final attempt in its 2008 schedule, the Tea Route, Gitana Eighty will take the start of the Record SNSM this Sunday.

The record-breaking race : Gitana Eighty wins The Transat 2008 for Gitana Team 24/05/2008 - 09:41 - Twelve years after his last victory in The Transat (formerly Ostar), Loïck Peyron has rewritten the record books on crossing the finish line of the 13th edition of the race at 03h15’35” UT this Saturday 24th May. An historic achievement which surpasses even that of legendary French sailor Eric Tabarly, by becoming the only person in history to have won this legendary single-handed transatlantic race between the UK and the United States a total of three times. With this win in Boston, Loïck Peyron provides the LCF Rothschild Group and Gitana Team with their second successive victory in a single-handed transatlantic race in less than two years! Read ...		Gitana Eighty continues its faultless performance in the Record SNSM 24/06/2008 - 10:07 - After setting out from Saint Nazaire on Sunday at 1735 UT, the fleet of Imoca 60 footers made it back into the Loire Estuary this Tuesday morning. Crossing the finish line at 0544’07’’ UT, Loïck Peyron and his four crew – Cyril Dardashti, Antoine Mermod, Didier Le Vourc’h and Sébastien Thétiot – add the Record SNSM to Gitana Eighty’s list of wins. The monohull in the colours of the LCF Rothschild Group covered the 360 miles of the course in 1 day 12 hours 9 minutes and 7 seconds, completing yet another performance to reinforce Gitana Eighty’s domination, unbeaten since last winter.
