Boat Damage on finishers
The closing parade of the giant catamarans occurred today around the Old Port in Marseille. The "Three Sisters" will sail together, escorted by hundreds of sailing yachts.
The parade started at 1430 in the Vieux Port and should have lasted until 1530, when the boats would leave the harbour for a show of sails along the beaches, until about 1730.
Right now a big celebration Marseille style, this city with such a long sailing history, should be under way.
There is no news anywhere on any of the websites, I wonder if everyone is partying...
Both Team Legato and Warta Polpharma will have to cut through the slows of the Azores high pressure system.
Team Legato projected finish:
Team Legato - 'the Survivors' - working upwind
Team Legato has gained some speed back.
