Official Jacques Vabre Press Release:
"Spanish flagged 1876 came in to Puerto Limon in ninth place with Spain’s Pachi Rivero partnered by France’s Yves Parlier making a strong comeback in the last 36 hours. The pair lost more than 100 miles to Akena Verandas in recent days and fought back, gaining most of them back again.
Out of another squally, difficult evening peppered by torrential heavy tropical rain showers, Sam Davies and Sidney Gavignet brought Artemis across the finish line to complete their Transat Jacques Vabre in tenth place. Davies said she and Gavignet have no regrets at all about their strategic choice to go south, a choice which cost them any chance of a top result. She simply said they did not know the boat well enough to venture towards the northern routing. She said there were small things which cost them, making one small choice to tack south too late saw them lose miles to Akéna Vérandas. Otherwise it was the wearying battles with technical failures which ground them down and contributed to lost miles and small mistakes. Nevertheless the hugely talented duo sailed a solid race, showing great drive, spirit and good humour even when the odds had long since stacked up against them."
It has been a fascinating race to follow. The first week, especially, was absolutely gripping as the teams battled with the extreme weather. We congratulate all those teams that managed to complete the course.
