Ultim Challenge: Anthony Marchand leaves 24 hours after his technical stopover

Arriving Friday at 3:11 p.m. (Paris time, GMT 1) in Cape Town, victim of a damaged foil and repairing his gennaker, Marchand (Actual Ultim 3) was able to leave on Saturday at 3:30 p.m., his Actual team announced in a press release. “The guys worked tirelessly from the moment the boat arrived. The bet to leave while respecting the minimum stopover time imposed by the race regulations was therefore met. Everything happened extremely quickly but everything is now back in working order,” commented the skipper, quoted in the press release.

“The boat is not leaving at 100% of its potential but it is leaving healthy, which is essential for me before starting the crossing of the Indian and Pacific Oceans,” he added while his boat is now deprived of its port appendage. Antoine Péron (Adagio) is still heading towards the South African port where he should arrive on Sunday. It suffered damage Friday morning while it was 450 miles (833 km) from the Cape of Good Hope.

Cape Town is already welcoming another French sailor, Tom Laperche, who is trying to repair serious damage to his boat SVR-Lazartigue which occurred a week ago after hitting an unidentified object or animal (OANI) 1,300 miles away ( 2,400 km) from the Cape of Good Hope. The winner of the Solitaire du Figaro in 2022 indicated that the chances of him starting again were low.

In the general classification on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. (Paris time), Charles Caudrelier (Maxi Edmond de Rotschild) was still in the lead off Tasmania with 1,757 miles (3,254 km) ahead of Thomas Coville (Sodebo Ultim 3) who was was approaching the southwest of Australia and Armel Le Cléach 2,613 miles (2,613 km) from the leader.

Ranking Saturday at 5:00 p.m. (GMT 1):

1. Maxi Edmond de Rothschild (Charles Caudrelier) 12,310 nautical miles from the finish

2. Sodebo Ultim 3 (Thomas Coville) 1,757 miles from the first

3. Maxi Banque Populaire XI (Armel Le Cléac'h) at 2,613 miles

4. Actual Ultim 3 (Anthony Marchand) at 5,323 miles

5. SVR-Lazartigue (Tom Laperche) at 5,324 miles
