French skipper Nicolas Troussel who was lying in seventh place in the Vendée Globe has dismasted on CORUM L’Épargne this morning. He was racing south in brisk NE’ly trade wind conditions some 260 nautical miles NW of the Cape Verde islands.
Some news from Nicolas Troussel (CORUM L'Épargne).
With a programme which was always designed to be late but carefully managed at a high level Nicolas Troussel still finds himself in at the deep end. But despite the tight timings to prepare for his first Vendée Globe aboard the latest to be launched new generation IMOCA, nothing seems to phase the double winner of the Solitaire du Figaro.
Podcasts offer him moments of release, his career was kick started by winning the Le Telegramme Solo trials which set him on the way to winning La Solitaire du Figaro twice. And he says you can’t do a ‘Troussel’ flyer on the Vendée Globe. Meet Nicolas Troussel.
