NEWSFLASH Transat Jacques Vabre. ULTIMS to Start, IMOCAs held La Havre, Ocean 50/Class 40's Lorient
Report #3 TJV huge weather system holds IMOCAs Le Havre.
There has been a huge announcement from the management of the Transat Jacques Vabre as a deep depression which yesterday required the modification of the race for the Class 40’s has accelerated and deepened and will hit the west coast of France and Portugal, 24 hours earlier than expected. Winds of 80 knots and seas of 10 meters are forecast from Monday evening at Cape Finisterre.
Only the Ultims, which should be quick enough to be South of the systems, will race their course as planned. Their start and their course are unchanged.
The Ocean Fifty will also start today but will like the Class 40’s head towards Lorient. The biggest problem for the 40 IMOCAs is there is not a port on the Atlantic coast which could accommodate the 40 sixty footers and so they will remain in Le Havre until the weather system is passed.
