Artemis Ocean Racing IMOCA 60 have completed their intensive training at Port La Foret and are now in Le Havre ready and waiting for the start of the Transat Jacques Vabre. British skipper Samantha Davies, who has been nominated for the ISAF World Sailor of the Year Award, and her crew mate Sidney Gavignet are in Le Havre to compete for the "Trophee Ville du Havre Paul Vatine" this weekend. The "Trophee Ville du Havre Vatine" is the prologue to the TJV and the teams will race on board Bénéteau 7.5 boats.
We are big fans of Samantha, and particularly enjoy these excellent onboard videos from Artemis. We will be following Sam and Sidney's progress through the prologue and the TJV. Good Luck, Artemis!
