Quebec to St Malo: Return journey
A battle of the best, as many in the 'Transat'
make the return journey to Europe. This race
started with record calm, and finished with record
24 hour runs by the leading Open 60 trimarans. Great stuff!

Record run:
(August 16, 2000) Bayer En France with skipper Yvan Bourgnon stretches its
legs in a 24 hour assault on the distance record. Oh ... they came so
close! Router Ken Campbell of Commanders' Weather tells us the story.

Perfect
plan foiled: (August 5, 2000): What seemed like a good idea at the time,
turned foul as a blocked weather system fades away.
-
Light
airs all around: (August 2, 2000): With light winds hampering progress
down the St Lawrence River, yachts in this grand prix event are in
danger of running our of food before they reach France!
