Phenomenal start of The Artemis Transat in Plymouth for Seb Josse onboard his BT.
His teammate, Ellen MacArthur watched the start from onboard the Royal Navy's HMS Argyll: "Seb timed it perfectly, its great to get across the start line cleanly and in first place."
Seb Josse onboard BT IMOCA 60 crossed the start line of The Artemis Transat in first position followed by Gitana, Safran, Brit'Air, Generali, Foncia, PRB, Akena, Pakea, Aviva, Cervin EnR, Spirit of Weymouth and Roxy.

What is BT Team Ellen?
In September 2007, Ellen launched the BT Team Ellen project in Paris - a three-year partnership with BT through to 2010. The project includes the BT IMOCA 60 skippered by French skipper, Sébastien Josse, and Nick Moloney, skipper of the BT Extreme 40. Ellen's sailing projects include the Archipelago Raid on the BT F18 plus helming the BT Extreme 40 in the Round the Island Race as well as supporting BT's CSR worldwide programme and continuing with her commitment to pursuing and communicating how to lead a more sustainable life on land.
A decade-long association with BT as communications partner to the sailing team has now matured into a well-matched title partner relationship.
