Jourdain downgraded, Escoffier winner in Rhum Multi

by time news

Yet came first, Roland Jourdain was downgraded in favor of Loïc Escoffier.

Roland Jourdain crossed the finish line of the Route du Rhum this Friday at 8:09 p.m. (metropolitan France time) and believed he had won the transatlantic race in the Rhum Multi category before being downgraded. Arrived at 8:52 p.m., Loïc Escoffier is finally titled.

Only 43 minutes separated the two men this Friday at the finish line. Roland Jourdain penalized after breaking a lead. The We Explore skipper receives a 90-minute penalty. No third title for the 58-year-old green sailor.

Before the start, Roland Jourdain had taken a “step aside”. The native of Quimper sails on a We Explore catamaran, which incorporates 50% flax fibers and whose deck is the largest piece ever built in plant fibers. A real environmental turning point taken by the 58-year-old skipper.
