Transat Jacques Vabre – Creno Moustache Solidaire en route to Spain

by Transat Jacques Vabre on 31 Oct 2015 2015 Transat Jacques Vabre – Following the breakage of a starboard spreader, Thibault Hector and Morgan Launay have secured their rig and decided to sail to Spain to make a repair.

In a sustained wind of 30-35 knots SW'ly and high sea, a stainless fitting broke but the crew was able to quickly change tack to save the rig. But as the wind is veering NW Creno Moustache-Solidaire will be able to make a course towards La Coruña and Vigo in the next hours. The duo expects to quickly repair to return to the course.
