17th Transat Café L'or Day 2: Pitstop Challenges
Pitstops lasting several hours have put two of the key favourites to win the TRANSAT CAFÉ L'OR on the backfoot less than 24 hours into the double handed race from Le Havre to Martinique.
A moment of inattention in building seas on the first night of the race saw Yoann Richomme and Corentin on Paprec Arkéa strike a navigation buoy off the Cherbourg peninsula, sustaining damage to the outrigger deck spreader and starboard foil.
As the duo returned three hours back to the start port Le Havre, their technical team swung into action, bringing replacements from their Lorient base. The team worked through the night and Paprec Arkéa returned to racing early this Monday afternoon, nearly 300 nautical miles behind leaders MACIF Santé Prévoyance.
