This Sunday at 4:08 p.m., while sailing in 7th position in the Transat Café L’Or, Yoann Richomme and Corentin Horeau collided with a buoy off the coast of Le Havre. The IMOCA Paprec Arkéa was traveling at over 16 knots when the impact damaged the rigging and the starboard outrigger of their boat.

The crew is safe and doing everything possible to secure the mast before turning back for a technical stopover in Le Havre, where their technical team is waiting to assess the extent of the damage and carry out repairs as quickly as possible. The Transat Café L’Or race instructions authorize stopovers, with a minimum duration of 4 hours.
