The pit stop was express for Formula 1 of the Sodebo seas on the night of Thursday to Friday at the port of Funchal in Madeira (Portugal). Breton skippers Thomas Coville and Thomas Rouxel, who collided with a UFO the previous night, found their technical team there on land to try to repair their starboard foil, damaged during the impact. If the repairs did not allow the maximum to restart at 100% of its capacities, this technical stopover allows Sodebo to restart the race.
The Finistérien Thomas Rouxel projects on the following: “We are very happy to be leaving again, we will have a lot of fun at sea. The competitive stake, of course, will be less interesting, but we will focus on the fun, and on continuing to progress on the boat. . You never know what’s going on, we’ll be going all the time. The idea now is to join Martinique.“
