IDEC is Off
Having left New York this afternoon in order to reach the Ambrose light, Francis Joyon crossed the starting line of the W to E Transatlantic record at 19h03′36” GMT (15h03′36” local time). The trimaran set off at more than 15 knots, and the French skipper hoped to catch a more solid breeze further away from the coast.
To beat Laurent Bourgnon’s record, IDEC has to reach the Lizard (GB) before June the 2nd, at 21h37′16” GMT.
