2008 programme

After a superb record campaign in 2007, the victory of Groupama 2 in the Transat Jacques Vabre and the abandon in the Jules Verne Trophy for Groupama 3, the 2008 programme promises to be less oceanic for Franck Cammas and Team Groupama.

Prior to Groupama 2's attempt at the SNSM Record, Franck will be defending the title he gained last year at the Spi Ouest France, in the Open 7.50. For Groupama 3, the year will essentially be spent in the yard and will only be relaunched in January 2009.
