New horizons for the Jacques Vabre 2009: Costa Rica bound!
For this 9th edition, the Transat Jacques Vabre 2009 is heading for Costa Rica in Central America. The double-handed transatlantic race, of which the start will be given in Le Havre, France, on 7th November for the monohulls and 8th November for the multihulls, is thus heading towards a brand new Coffee destination, which follows the great shipping route.

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".
