Trophée Jules Verne - Trimaran IDEC - Day 6 - 'IDEC' aborts record attempt

After the slow passage of the innertropical convegence zone bringing Francis Joyon FRA and his team far behind the record, the Maxi-Trimaran, crossing the Equator yesterday, even missed the 'fast train' to the South with the promising low pressure zone along the Brazilian coast, departing too early.
