Transat Jacques-Vabre: the Ultims alone at sea, the Banque Populaire crew in the lead

While storm Ciaran had pushed the race organization to adapt the starts of the different categories, the Ultims were still the only ones at sea on Friday. As they approach Cape Verde, it is the Maxi Banque Populaire

The Class 40s and Ocean Fiftys have been secured at the port of Lorient for the passage of the storm and are not expected to leave before Monday. As for the Imoca, the monohulls are still in Le Havre and will not receive the green light before Tuesday given the unpredictable weather conditions.
