Groupama 3 finally in the port of Dunedin
|
| Jules Verne Trophy |
| It was this Saturday morning at 0349 UT, that Groupama 3 entered the port of Dunedin after several hours under tow in the
13 mile access channel.
|
Relieved to know the trimaran is now protected from the gale currently sweeping across New Zealand, Franck Cammas and
his crew immediately set to work with an electric pump, emptying the beams, which were deliberately punctured to favour the
attempted righting, as well as clearing the pieces of the port float, which couldn't be removed in the open sea.
Weather
permitting it is tomorrow, Sunday, that the righting operation is likely to be performed with the help of a crane in the port
of Dunedin.
