With the exception of Roland Gaebler, who had to return to Germany, the crew is the same as for yesterday's aborted start on the Cowes-St Malo record, now postponed until a better weather pattern appears.

At the start wind was 26 kts (North-Northwest from 350 degrees). The current record of 3 hours 10 minutes was set in June of this year by the 60' trimaran Dexia Eure et Loire.
