SPLENDID FINISH !

Foncia crossed the arrival line today (Tuesday) at 16h37’05 french time – 12h37’05 local time - under an impecable blue sky. The run for the first place in the Imoca was as hot as the Brazilian temperature as Marc Guillemot & Charles Caudrelier pushed Safran and therefore Foncia to their limits till the finish. Safran took second place at 13h31’55” local time (17h31’55” french time). Cheminées Poujoulat arrived 45 minutes and 30 seconds behind Safran. VM Matériaux is expected in Bahia end of the afternoon and Ecover around 10 p.m (french time).The 28 Class40 are all dealing with the doldrums whims. Crèpes Whaou ! crossed the line at 11h29’39” french time after 15d22h27’ at sea.

Message from Dan Gohl and Tom Gall ("Concice")

" After a slow start to our race and with the food supplies looking low we decided to take stock of our provisions. It did not look good. We investigated the sealed pack the owner put on board for circumstances just like this. It was rather ominously marked "open only in extremis". Expecting at least some SAS ration packs we were a bit surprised to find one of the bosses "Pink Ribbed Specials" and some very specific instructions on its use. "Tow off to leeward exactly 4 boat lengths behind or until you get a popping effect, “ This motion represents the action of mating squid and game fish just love to join the party and spoil their fun".
