Somewhat upset by the weather and the train of depressions arriving on the coasts, the start of the Transat Jacques Vabre Normandie Le Havre was carried out in two stages.
While all the boats were due to leave Le Havre on Sunday October 28, 2023, the IMOCAs remained at the dock.
For the other fleets, it was a grandiose spectacle, in difficult sea wind conditions for the sailors, but what a spectacle for the images!
