- Escoffier Evacuated
- Burnt Out Burton Back On It In 2nd
- Conservative Dalin Plays Prudent Long Game
After being rescued from his liferaft six days ago by fellow competitor Jean Le Cam, PRB skipper Kevin Escoffier was plucked from the Indian Ocean by the French Marine National after jumping clear of his rescuer’s IMOCA 60 in a carefully choreographed manoeuvre early this Sunday morning some 360 nautical miles north of the remote Crozet Islands. Escoffier was quickly taken from a semi rigid inflatable to board the 93.5 metre long (306ft) 2600 tonne Floréal-class frigate which has a complement of 84 crew.
