A little less than 12 hours separates the two Ultims (32 m trimarans) setting out to conquer the Jules-Verne Trophy, a crewed round-the-world record, held since 2017 by Francis Joyon (Idec Sport) in 40 days. 11:30:30 p.m.: Thomas Coville (Sodebo Ultim 3) cut the line off Ouessant on Friday at 9:03 p.m., François Gabart (SVR-Lazartigue) and his five teammates (Tom Laperche, Amélie Grassi, Pascal Bidégorry, Antoine Gautier and Émilien Lavigne), this Saturday at 8:51 a.m.
