When they crossed the start line at Ushant last Sunday, Francis Joyon and his 5 crew members knew one thing: the start of their adventure was not going to be one smooth ride. After nearly 48 hours on a multifaceted sea, offering them both calmness and strong winds, the Idec Sport team has started to get into its stride.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were a little shaken up when we went through the center of the low about twelve hours after we left Ushant,<\/em>\u201d explained Francis Joyon this morning.\u201cWe went through many maneuvers that didn\u2019t encourage high speeds, including a dozen or so sail changes. This was exhausting because there are only six of us on this big boat. So we didn\u2019t get much sleep and drew on our reserves.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The maxi-trimaran is currently heading southwest, sailing off the Moroccan coast. Thanks to strong northeasterly winds, the crew is advancing at a speed of about 28 knots. While they\u2019re 215 miles behind Lo\u00efck Peyron\u2019s record, Francis Joyon and his team remain confident about the strategy they have formed with Marcel van Triest, their router and meteorologist. Indeed, the aim is to reach the Equator in a \u201cdecent\u201d time, before making it past the Cape of Good Hope in good time.<\/p>\n

Remember that in 2012 Lo\u00efck Peyron passed the Equator in 5 days, 14 hours and 55 minutes, then the Cape of Good Hope after 11 days.<\/p>\n
