Tripon retains lead in Mini Transat

by Sue Pelling Yachting-world.com on 30 Sep 2003
Armel Tripon sailing Roty Mill (151) is leading the second leg of the Mini Transat which started from Lanzarote on Saturday despite hitting an identified submerged object.

Fortunately for Tripon, there is no damage to the hull and he is tracking ahead in a Force 3-5 north-north-easterly five miles ahead of Alex Pella sailing Aquatec Santiveri Texknit.

Pella and Pierre Rolland broke through François Cuinet overnight, while McKee retains his fifth position.

The initial leader of the production fleet, David Raison (Liquid 440-Ray) has broken boom and torn his small spinnaker, leaving Erwan Tymen (426-Pogo 2 Navy Lest) at the top of the production fleet in eighth position overall.

Raison hopes to carry out repairs during the race. Other competitors with problems include Barnabe Chivot (335- FTH Thirard) and Jean-baptiste Dejeanty (321- Artech-Caen Sea) who has torn his large spinnaker. Cian McCarthy (393- The Tom Crean) who finished fifth on the first leg has a problem with a main stay, although reports are still unclear as to how he intends to carry out repairs.

The British sailor Ian Munslow has improved his position from 42nd last night, to 39th while James Bird has slipped from 51st to 53rd.
