For their second attempt this winter to attack the Jules Verne Trophy, Charles Caudrelier and Franck Cammas’ crew have set off with their foot to the floor. 48 hours after crossing the start line off Ushant, they were already at the latitude of the Canary Islands! It is more than 26 knots average on the direct route. And they will have to keep up this pace for more than a month, the excellent time set by Francis Joyon and his crew on Idec being 40 days, 23 hours and 30 minutes.
