After the ULTIM, Ocean Fifty and the IMOCAs, the third podium of the 17th edition of the TRANSAT CAFÉ L’OR Le Havre Normandie, Class40s delivered a scenario worthy of a Hollywood thriller. The duel between the top two teams Guillaume Pirouelle and Cedric Château (Seafrigo-Sogestran) and Corentin Douguet and Axel Tréhin (SNSM Faites un don!) really ran the whole duration of the race but was finally settled by a matter of minutes.

The two extremes, the joys of a hard earned very close win and the pain of just missing out – when second feels a bit more like losing than winning the silver medal – were both on display as the top two Class40s docked in Fort de France this afternoon. After having finished 15th on the 2023 edition, in no small way because of a collision at the first mark of the course which left a gaping hole in the side of their boat, revenge was sweet when Guillaume Pirouelle and Cédric Chateau won Class40 today in Martinique, winning by seven minutes and 21 seconds after 20 days of racing. But they left the pre-race favourites Corentin Douguet and Axel Tréhin disappointed and dejected.
