Route du Rhum - At 0900hrs (CET/Paris) the small 12.18m trimaram ATNinc.com capsized.
The Franco-American skipper is reported to be well. ATNinc,com is positioned 1500 miles from Guadeloupe and 900 miles from the Azores.
The solo skipper has inflated his liferaft and is alongside his boat. Conditions are relatively fair, 10-15 knots of wind and small seas.
MMCC Portugal are coordinating rescue, and a cargo ship is expected to be diverted in the coming hours.
