MOD70 Krys Ocean Race Finish in Brest


The MOD70 Trimarans made a very fast Transatlantic in the Krys Ocean Race from NewYork City to Brest. 

Within 5 days, 4days 21 hours 8 minutes and 37 seconds to be precise, it was SPINDRIFT Racing that passed the Finish as WINNER of the Krys Ocean Race. Spindrift made the decisive move in the 2nd night of this Race, sailing longer on their Gennaker and following a more Northerly course. 

Edmong de Rothschild was 2nd on the Finish just 1hr 11 min after the 1st. 
Foncia took the 3rd place again some 28 min after the  2nd Trimaran.
Musandam Oman Sail was 4th to arrive in Brest and Race for Water is still sailing as we speak. 
Both last Boats suffered some damage and had to reduce speed. 

The Virtual Race in Liveskipper is still on-going. The first boats have passed the gate at Scilly islands and will finish later today. With some 1730 boats sailing in the Liveskipper it is a good thing that those did not interfere with the real Boats.
