RACE REPORT #8 I Retour à La Base - Day 7
Morgan Lagravière, recent winner of the Transat Jacques Vabre, stopped by the IMOCA office to give us an update on the situation at sea. The 32 sailors taking part in the Retour à La Base, led by Yoann Richomme, are closing in on the Azores.

The leaders should cross the finish line in Lorient La Base on Saturday.
