Despite losing their gennaker (large fore-sail), the Arkema 4 crew managed to complete the course of this 24h challenge in 2nd position.

In the inshore regattas on Saturday and Sunday, the 7 Ocean Fifty crews had to deal with elusive winds on the starting line, which greatly complicated the sailors' task.

"We may have been unlucky on Saturday towards the start, but we made up for it really well on Sunday!" With 3 wins out of 4 heats, the Arkema 4 crew recorded its finest day since the beginning of the competition. "We are still just as happy with the boat and the unity of the crew. The ambience on board is excellent, and with each race we make progress."
