Ultim Maxi Banque Populaire XI capsizes
Erwan Steff, Team Manager of Team Banque Populaire, gives an update on the situation following the capsizing of the Maxi Banque Populaire XI.
“This morning, at 5:30 a.m., we lost the boat’s position. Telemetry led us to believe it had capsized, which was later confirmed. We received news from Armel; everything is fine on board: he is inside the boat, he is dry, and he has food and water. Race control informed us that an oil tanker is en route to him, which could take a few hours, but we are reassured about Armel’s condition and the ability to reach him.”
