Damien Seguin Wins the Vintage Multi Category
Damien Seguin crossed the finish line in Pointe-à-Pitre on Thursday, November 12, shortly before 9:30 p.m., winning the Vintage Multi category aboard Arkéa - Handicap International.
He thus joins the three other winners already announced for this edition: Tom Laperche in the Ultim class, Basile Bourgnon in the Ocean Fifty class, and Corentin Horeau in the IMOCA class.
While four categories have now announced their results, boats continue to cross the finish line in Guadeloupe. In particular, the winners in the Class40 and Rhum Mono categories have yet to be determined.
The battle in Class40 is still wide open
As of the check-in on Friday, November 13, Achille Nebout (Amarris) maintains a 19-mile lead over Guillaume Pirouelle (Sogestran - Seafrigo). The top five are within 50 miles of each other.
The gradual return of the trade winds is leading to higher speeds, but conditions remain unpredictable. The competitors are sailing mainly on a beam reach or a reaching course, with pressure differences that can quickly change the gaps between them.
Sailing around Guadeloupe remains an additional challenge. Areas of light winds in the lee of the mountains could still shake up the standings before the finish.
Axel Tréhin is facing health issues
In the Class40 category, Axel Tréhin (Exalt) is continuing his crossing despite severe chest pain, difficulty breathing, and bouts of fever.
According to the organization, the race doctor ruled out a pneumothorax. Pneumonia is now suspected, and the skipper is undergoing antibiotic treatment.
Despite these difficulties, Axel Tréhin continues on his way to Guadeloupe.
