Transat Jacques Vabre

Le Havre

Transat Jacques Vabre 2017. While we were waiting to get out of the harbor before (because the competitors were leaving the port) the conditions were announced very muscular with a very formed sea. All the boats came out with a reef in the mainsail. The rising sea and the waves crashing on the dike were bigger and bigger. A Navy helicopter flew over the exit of the harbor at the exit of the imoca Bastide Otio. At that moment a very large wave crashed on the dike.
