IMOCA RACE REPORT #5 I Transat Jacques Vabre 2023
The first IMOCA boats are arriving at full speed towards Martinique. Only 150 miles now separate For People (Thomas Ruyant and Morgan Lagravière) from the finish line and, if all goes well for the duo, they should arrive as winners in Fort-de-France around midnight (local time).
Behind them, the battle is raging, with duels at every level. We can't wait to catch up with them and hear all about it!
