Transat Jacques Vabre 2017: Sodebo Ultim extends lead towards Bahía
Short video by Sodebo Ultim, but great to see onboard footage. Sodebo has some special J/L foils along T rudders, vs a full foiling conf by Gitana / Edmond de Rotshschild. Will draw platforms during the week. This edition will tell much to designers on the most efficient foiler conf for trimarans and how worth is to push the limits on an already super effcient Sailing machine.
Coville & Nelias keep extending their lead , now 42NM ahead of Josse / Rouxel. Live Tracking at transatjacquesvabre.org/en/map-and-ranking

If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16
