Between those who left, those who took the start to stop in Lorient (Morbihan) before leaving again when they can for a two-stage race, and those who stayed in Le Havre (Seine-Maritime), not easy to find yourself there! At 8 a.m. Sunday, the Jacques Vabre deckchair — the double-handed crossing of the Atlantic — took a strange turn, due to the unfavorable development of the weather. The big depression forecast for Tuesday near the Portuguese coast has shifted by 6 hours, also taking up more space, and making it impossible for the vast majority of the fleet to pass.
