And then there were 60!

Banque Du Léman, the Swiss boat skippered by Simon Koster and Valentin Gautier (first participation in the Route du Café), docked in the Bassin Paul Vatine in Le Havre on Sunday afternoon, two days after the deadline. That completes the 60-boat line-up for the 2019 Transat Jacques Vabre Normandie Le Havre.The brand new Class40 – one of the favourites - damaged a bulkhead during qualification for the race and was permitted by the race management to fix it La Trinité-sur-Mer (where it was built).
