  • Armel And The Loud Crack



    Today at 12pm TU, as it was moving close to 20 knots, Armel heard a crack with no apparent shock. He noticed the drift breaking underneath the hull. Armel makes his way to the technical base of the Maxi Banque Populaire XI in Lorient, which he will join in about ten hours. All solutions will be studied there with the Team Banque Populaire for the continuation of this Rum Route.




    Ronan Lucas, Director of Team Popular Bank:
    "Armel told us about this break that requires him to go back to Lorient so that we can analyze the situation." Armel is safe, the road to our tech base will be in managable conditions. "
