Cap Martinique - la trinité start.

[potentillaCO32]

Wandering down to la trinité later to see the music and activities before the start of the single and double handed race to Martinique.

Race is limited to 30 to 40 foot boats seem to be mainly jpk , sunfasts and pogos.

Very exciting especially after spi oest a week or so ago.

Jean-Pierre Kelbert (aka JPK) is entered on one of his (customer’s) JPK 1050. Story about that, the +/- of JPK 1050 v Pogo RC, and his “lucky star” of success. In this week’s SailorZ. (Under the state of the IMOCA nation story)

They must have had a special deal on sails for the event . New laminate sails were being laid out and nearly every jpk was having them fitted.

Thanks for the link. Really interesting read. Such a shame that they all seem to be struggling to get sponsorship. Sad that Lorient have had to step in to replace barcelona for one of the races. Bit ljke cherbourg and the fastnet.

Jpk and pogo certainly seem to be leading the innovation race.
