Arthur Hubert and Valentin Lemarchand on the Class40 SNBSM Espoir Compétition expect to make a pit stop in Madeira
They duo are now missing a part of the mainsail mast track which was ripped off. And so that prevents them from being able to hoist their mainsail above the second reef. They will have to take a minimum break of 12 hours in Madeira, according to Class40 class rules before they can resume racing after making repairs.
Hubert told his team yestrday: "We stop, but only to leave in better shape. We will get to the finish as fast as we can and see where we end up!"
Their shore team plan to have everything in place to make sure it all goes smoothly.
