> Maxitri Banque Polulair racet in een waanzinnig tempo rond de wereld:
>
> Banque Populaire V Shatters the Record Time at the Cape Of Good Hope
> At 7:20 am (Paris time) this Sunday morning, after 11 days 21 hours 48
> minutes and 18 seconds * since leaving Ushant, when the Maxi Banque
> Populaire V crossed the Cape of Good Hope, getting to the end of the
> second intermediate segment in the Jules Verne Trophy and at the same time
> shattering the time previously set. With already 8245 miles behind them,
> Loick Peyron and his men set a second record to their list of successes in
> a few days, and are now sailing in the Indian Ocean.
> After a tough start, a rapid descent to the Canaries, a slight slowdown in
> the Doldrums, an equator crossing made in record time, followed by a
> straight acceleration with a nice bypass to avoid the center of the St.
> Helena Highs, the Team Banque Populaire has just hit a new reference time.
> Sunday being a busy day at the Paris Boat Show, Loick Peyron took
> advantage of an extraordinary video conference to come back on the
> impression provided by this new accomplishment.
> Also reached earlier on, during his stand-by watch, Brian Thompson came
> back on these 12 incredible days of racing since leaving Ushant : "We are
> all really happy with our position and the time we have on the record.
> Everybody is in good shape and it is a very pleasant atmosphere on board.
> It's great to be sailing altogether ahead of Groupama's record. We have
> the perfect weather and Loick, Juan and Marcel, on the shore, have taken
> us on an excellent route, always in the wind, and on deck we have worked
> hard at sailing fast and safely. We have an excellent watch rhythm looking
> like choreography of people at every change! We have achieved 25% of the
> current record time, which maybe even more if we are quicker than 48 days!
> It is very exciting! "
> Now sailing in the Indian Ocean, the Maxi Banque Populaire V is now
> heading towards the Kerguelen Islands. Still benefiting from a westerly
> wind, the Maxi trimaran is faced with a difficult sea requiring the
> sailors to slow down a little bit. The instructions given by the skipper
> are clear: we do not exceed 30 knots.
> *Subject to approval and ratification by the WSSRC (World Sailing Speed
> Record Council).
