Third strategic crossing

Following Sodebo Ultim 3’s retirement, the fleet of three trimarans still racing on Brest Atlantiques embark on a third Atlantic crossing, this time between the Namibian coast and Brazil, to round the St Helena high to the north. This section of the race requires clever strategy to negotiate the course, to choose when to gybe and which angles to set in the unstable wind conditions that lie ahead.
