The Transat CIC – solo ocean racing at its purest. It’s a challenge punctuated by a succession of lows that sweep across the North Atlantic and generate headwinds, the great feature of this race. In the beginning, the record for the crossing was around 40 days. Today, the greatest solo specialists at the helm of the fastest boats can cover the same distance in just 8 days.
Between the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan, the skippers of the New
York Vendée-Les Sables d’Olonne competed in the Vendée Liberty, a
runs competition in New York Bay. Even if the intensity of
wind was light, the sailors offered breathtaking images.
Romain Attanasio (Fortinet) was the fastest (5 min 55
dry). At the same time, round tables and concerts took place at
Governors Island. A look back at a day that will remain engraved in the
spirits!
The hundreds of guests who were present at Governors Island this Friday,
will remember this day for a long time. Big blue sky, bright sun,
summer temperatures, statue of liberty and giant buildings: the decor of the
Vendée Liberty was set up and the show could begin. Some
not far from there, the IMOCAs set off for their run, sailing along Liberty Island
before finishing their time against Manhattan.
