Trophée Jules Verne - Francis Joyon FRA (Trimaran IDEC) on Standby

The promising wind forecast for the coming days provoked Francis Joyon FRA yesterday to accelerate the préparations for the start to the Trophée Jules Verne, the round-the-world record. The existing record for teams belongs to the 140-foot trimaran 'Banque Populaire V' with Loïc Peyron FRA, who chased around the globe in 2012 within 45 days, 13 hours and 42 minutes.
