Transat iväg…
För ett par timmar sedan så kom båtarna i Transat iväg. Lätta vindar i Plymouth och jämt i bägge klasserna. Foton: Mark Lloyd.
Mike Golding fired the starting canon onboard the Royal Navy’s HMS Argyll and Seb Josse’s BT hit the start line spot on with half a boat length to spare. 8-9 knots of boat speed as fleet head upwind under mainsail and genoa. Royal Navy spokesperson estimate there are close to 1,000 spectator craft out on the water! Incredible start for the fleet now heading towards first race gate at Eddystone Lighthouse (10 miles) – first skipper there wins an Omega Seamaster watch!
Man följer racet bäst via Transats “race console” eller 2D-viewer. Just nu verkar det vara favoriter i topp bland 60-fotarna. Foto: Vincent Curutchet/DPPI/The Artemis Transat.
