Transat Jacques Vabre 2017: Sodebo Ultim leads Edmond de Rothschild
Tracking clip I made from the official Transat Jacques Vabre web transatjacquesvabre.org/en/map-and-ranking . Sodebo Ultim sailed by Thomas Coville & Jean Luc Nelias is leading over Edmond de Rothschild Tri foiler with its central T dagger. Maybe too much drag in the end as shown by Maserati vs the standard floating MOD70 Phaedo 3?
Navigation plays much in these Atlantic crossings too as shown above.
Sodebo Ultim was re launched as a foiler earlier this year , but we couldn’t identify a central T dagger as Edmond de Rothschild / Gitana is featuring.

I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
