The race
in brief

This Wednesday afternoon, while sailing downwind in around 20 knots of wind, approximately 230 nautical miles off Portugal’s Cape Roca, the westernmost point of mainland Europe, Elodie Bonafous and Yann Eliès encountered a technical issue aboard their IMOCA Association Petits Princes – Quéguiner. The problem does not affect the boat's structural integrity but is impacting their performance. The two sailors are working to find a repair solution, while continuing their southward journey for the time being.

Following minor damage to the port foil and the loss of two wind vanes, the IMOCA Les P’tits Doudous is heading to Cascais for a quick repair.

This technical stopover will also be an opportunity to repair the forward ballast, damaged during the first night of the race.

The team is already en route to Portugal. The boat is expected around 1:00 AM.

Armel Tripon and Tanguy Leglatin are in good shape. Their team will be on hand to deliver a fast pitstop. 

Armel said "We were well positioned, we're eager to get back on the water very quickly, we're playing it safe to perform better." 

The caregivers at P'tits Doudous who support us are going through the same thing every day. We need everyone's suppor In the storms, we move forward together."
