Nineteen day transatlantic crossing in red and white

Setting sail from Le Havre on November 8, Veolia Environnement took 18 days, 22 hours and 16 minutes to complete the 4,700 or so nautical miles to reach Puerto Limon in Costa Rica. Sixth in this ninth Transat Jacques Vabre transatlantic race, Roland and Jean-Luc put in an excellent performance onboard the 60-foot red and white boat.

November 26, 2009 – The answer’s blowing in the wind

They hadn’t resorted to it so far, but now they have. Jean-Luc Nélias had warned us that, if they hadn’t already, all the boats would switch to ‘stealth mode’ for the last twenty-four hours.

Veolia Environnement in ‘furtive mode’

Roland Jourdain and Jean-Luc Nélias have opted to disappear from the leaderboard for the home stretch of the 2009 Transat Jacques Vabre transatlantic race.

Veolia Environnement on the home straight

The Costa Rican coastline looms ahead for Roland Jourdain and Jean-Luc Nélias onboard their red 60-foot IMOCA. No time to lose, because a fifth place is still within reach.

Just the kind of images of the boat and the race that we like to see.

Only 600 miles to the finish for Veolia Environnement

Veolia Environnement’s adventure in this Transat Jacques Vabre should soon be over. Fifth since yesterday with Foncia switching to ‘furtive mode,’ Bilou and Jean-Luc are gradually making their way Puerto Limon. The remaining 600 nautical miles could provide an excellent opportunity to overtake W Hotels for a fine finish.
