Banque Populaire V record attempt – North Atlantic
Good start for the maxi trimaran Banque Populaire V!
With air and a wind of 25 – 30 knots, the multihull skippered by Pascal Bidégorry crossed the starting line of Ambrose Light, off New York at 00h 47min 42s, reaching out to conquer the famous record of the North Atlantic.
Surrounded by his 11-man crew, Pascal Bidégorry is not alone in having chosen this weather window, since Groupama 3, title holder, has also left New York to try to establish a new reference time. A real duel of titans are currently plays in the open Atlantic Ocean.
Time to beat: 4 days 3 hours 57 minutes 54 seconds
