Ultim Trimaran - Arkea Ultim Challenge - Brest FRA - Day 13 - Charles Caudrelier FRA in the Indian Ocean

After 12 days and 1 hour, 'Edmond de Rothschild' with Charles Caudrelier FRA was the first to pass the Cape of Good Hope yesterday. This corresponds to an average speed of 28.85 knots (approx. 55 km/h!). He was therefore only 5 hours slower than François Gabart FRA on his record run in 2007. With 825 miles in 24 hours, he was also close to the absolute 24-hour record yesterday and now has a lead of 954 miles over Thomas Coville FRA (Sodebo). Tom Laperche (SVR Lazartigues) sails in safety mode towards Cape Town after his damage. The event website with the race viewer and the daily report.
