A new scratch-time in Groupama 3's trophy bag
|
| Miami - New York |
Once again ! Franck Cammas and his crew win the second record of their 2007 campaign...
Setting off from Miami on Sunday
3d June at 11h31'20'' UT* to attempt to beat the time established by Steve Fossett in 2001 between Miami and New Cork, Groupama
3 crossed the finish line at Ambrose Lighthouse on Monday 4th June at 22h36'40'' UT, after 1 day 11 hours 05 minutes and 20
seconds at sea (race time subject to approval by the WSSRC - in process).

One month after their performance on the Columbus Route, Franck and his men steal a second scratch-time from Playstation's
skipper. But above all, they improve Steve's record of 2 days 5 hours 54 minutes and 42 seconds by more than 18 hours. We
take our hats off to you sirs!
Groupama 3 covered the 947 miles separating Miami from New York at the average
speed of 27 knots, compared to an average of 17,57 for Playstation.
