Yesterday evening, Yoann Richomme FRA reached the finish line with his Paprec-Arkéa as winner of the Transat. He needed 8 days 6 hours for the 3'300 miles, which corresponds to an average speed of 16,5kn (28 km/h). This is his second consecutive victory after ‘Retour à la base’ last December, and he seems well-prepared for the Vendée Globe - the report. Boris Herrmann GER (Malizia) advanced to the end and finished 2nd just 2 hours 19 minutes behind, he was also very satisfied - the report. Just less than 6 hours behind, Samantha Davis GBR (Initiatives Coeur) was 3rd and Charlie Dalin FRA (Macif) also reached the finish.

Alan Roura SUI (Hublot) also sailed a good transat, who in 11th place is still just under 200 miles short of New York. Oliver Heer SUI was able to provisionally repair his power failure, he will be at the back of the fleet for the remaining 1000 miles to the finish. ----- In Class 40, Ian Lipinski POL is back in the lead with 600 miles to go to the finish.
