Groupe Edmond de Rothschild leading the dance.
Sebastien Josse and his young crew on Groupe Edmond de Rothschild
made the best start to the KRYS OCEAN RACE prologue, leading the
MOD70 fleet out of Newport en route for New York City.
History for the fleet was made when the five MOD70's answered the
start gun as one, lining up in picture postcard Newport
conditions.

In the puffy, gusty 11-15kts NW'ly breeze Josse and his crew were
quickest off the start line and were immediately able to give a
flash of just how exciting inshore racing on the MOD70's will be
. They were powered up immediately to make an early jump on Steve
Ravussin's Race for water on a short, rapid reach to the first
of two rounding marks.
At the first turn Yann Guichard's slick team on Spindrift racing
were able to seize second, while the wily Michel Desjoyeaux and
his FONCIA lay third as they bid farewell to Newport.
The very best of the high speed action was in the Bay, each of
the MOD70's successively accelerating on to one hull.
Although Groupe Edmond de Rothschild had built a decent lead by
time the fleet were beating upwind, against the current, the
wind was already falling, true to the forecast for gentle winds
for the passage to New York, where the leaders should arrive
between 10:00hrs and 11:00hrs Tuesday morning.
