PRB arrived in the port of Mindelo on the island of Sao Vicente in the Cape Verde islands at 0645hrs UTC where the technical team of Jean-Marc Failler and Philippe Laor were poised with a new rudder blade.
PRB’s port rudder was damaged during the Monday night. Everything was in place for a rapid, express pit stop so the co-skippers Vincent Riou and Jean Le Cam would not be too adversely affected by halt.
The French duo seemed extremely motivated and now return to the Transat Jacques Vabre with their boat at 100% of its potential.
