Class40

Tipping point

The Class40 fleet left La Coruña on the horns of a dilemma. After their enforced stopover, as a storm temporarily halted their TRANSAT CAFÉ L’OR race to Martinique, they headed back on to the Atlantic knowing the weather models were anything but definitive. There were two options, the one to the south was safer as there were no big low pressure systems to deal with but there was a lot of doubt about where and when they would find the trade winds.
