Maxi-Trimaran - Ultimed - Nizza FRA

The inaugural Ultimed Regatta, an event for big Maxi Trimarans, began yesterday with the Prologue leading from Marseille to Nice. Without 'Banque Populaire', turned over during her dislocation to the Mediterranean Sea, there remain three big multihulls in the race. Light winds are making the race slow, and the event website does not contain results this morning UTC. The start to the race will be given next Wednesday. The course will lead around Corsica and Sardinia to Menorca and back to France. Thomas Coville FRA ('Sodebo'), Yves Le Blevec FRA ('Actual') and Francis Joyon FRA ('IDEC').
