Albums 24h Ultim

The second edition of the 24h Ultim has been playing out in Lorient since last Friday. Following Sodebo’s withdrawal due to damage to her daggerboard on the eve of the competition, the remaining four maxi-trimarans initially got embroiled in some speed runs before facing off in a 340-mile offshore course off the tip of Brittany. In preparation for the upcoming Transat Jacques Vabre, the teams set sail double-handed at noon yesterday, accompanied by an on-board reporter. Aboard the Maxi Edmond de Rothschild, this was the first race meet for the Charles Caudrelier / Erwan Israël pairing. Securing a second place this Sunday, just three minutes shy of winner Banque Populaire, the crew on the five-arrow giant were pleased with the work carried out during the spring refit and confirmed that they are very much on the pace for the major sports challenges which await the men of Gitana Team. Indeed, in one month’s time, the fleet of giants will be in Le Havre for the start of the Transat Jacques Vabre, which promises to be just as thrilling as the showstopping spectacle offered up this weekend.|/_cache/178fe95c4f104742aa339d39a422be99_W802.jpg|/_cache/178fe95c4f104742aa339d39a422be99_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/6b636723b490436baeb75447d5a27389_W160.JPG¤L|/_cache/78e13d40b48340118c7f19e4bb5f7061_W160.JPG¤L|/_cache/25af5820d2b247ddbf3e97f15898848b_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/c202c25c18e44cfaae16e1a169d7ae87_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/4c558702bd5c4671b7d7a40c124196c7_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/cb8b2dd524824c00b1662dfd273e04f9_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/93fb7bcc4cb04b9b82cc71b6ae6f84a0_W161.jpg¤L|/_cache/d0270946b5dd4bd4891a9d7e43cf8f7e_W161.jpg¤L|/_cache/34ad18c067e2462383ed73675f9d9aaa_W161.jpg¤L|/_cache/41d6858b780b45579a8e95e5986c2bca_W161.jpg¤L|/_cache/bf68397af0774acf9127e46cce7c2ec3_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/334ee3feb2f0456ea69fb6d6b869fed1_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/96ec72a399f14c9aad0641db3810fc27_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/cc9514fe31aa4a049e4e7f1dce3836db_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/2446fc788d8b40f2b89720b8ea37a5ed_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/f8acd614c4784a50b902d1395a8fb1a3_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/b9e983f0ebcc4c219776461b951b05c1_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/ab754edb562245e7837f34bb9322722e_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/37c4c8bda58a45acabd2cf5d56cde5fc_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/3071f731f1da4b2389a425949c1e7830_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/50877f5f161d4803b3fca05ab1ee80f2_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/c1ef3aecd8d44957bf20d6944958a64b_W160.jpg¤L|/_cache/74a953d6af4e4878a41b2b391f899111_W160.jpg¤L
