During an incredible nearly 500 boat fleet at the Tour de Belle-Ile the 77-foot maxi tri Gitana 11 broke the record for the 41 nautical miles round trip journey in 2 hours and 42 minutes with Seb Josse at the helm, but nearly was overtaken at the end by Lionel Lemanchois on the super-fast Irens Multi 50 trimaran Prince De Bretagne, the VOR 70 Groupama was the fastest monohull with a journey time of 3 hours and 23 minutes.
