Last night, 80 miles from Audierne, in the southwest of the tip of Brittany, the boat CORUM l’Épargne dismasted around 1:30 a.m., a little more than 12 hours after the departure of the 48h Azimut from Lorient. Despite a 25 knot wind and heavy seas, the incident occurred at the exit of the second mark of the course.
Good news, the IMOCA crew made up of Nicolas Troussel, Benjamin Schwartz and Tanguy Conq, the mediaman, is doing well and has not requested assistance.
