Great sailing conditions
Round Kerguelen started Fri 2025-08-15 19:00 UTC
Weather, wind and sea state were very pleasant.
Stable 25 ktn of wind during all the race ..
Stars in the sky for this night start and no rain ..
Gentle waves for the season ..
In these conditions the boats were fast to please everyone !
The first boats to cross the line took far less than 24h to circle the islands .. Some of the contestants really enjoyed the race ...
The failure
Great race but at least one cloud in the sky ...
The finish gate was reversed !!
You had to cross it backwards to cross the finish line ...
Fortunatly it didn't affect the podium, nor the leaderboard, contestants were inform during the race ...
