It was yesterday, Sunday, that Groupama 3 was righted in the port of Dunedin in New Zealand
|
| Jules Verne Trophy |
| With the help of the two cranes and straps arranged either side of the starboard crossbeams, Groupama 3 was slowly lifted
into a vertical position prior to regaining its original position.
|
In view of the photo above, the starboard float and the central hull seem to have been relatively preserved. This impression
will need to be confirmed or contradicted by the crew, who will land in Roissy Charles de Gaulle on Wednesday morning prior
to going to the Race HQ for the Jules Verne Trophy to give a press conference.
Franck Cammas will be present with
seven of his crew, Jan Dekker heading directly to South Africa whilst Loïc Le Mignon is remaining in New Zealand where two
members of the shore crew, Jean-Marc Normant and Olivier Mainguy will meet up with him from tomorrow, Tuesday.
