Boisterous Biscay Last Challenge for Cremer...Beyou, Attanasio also in strong winds at Azores....
Merron crossed equator
Clarisse Cremer the 31year old French skipper of Banque Populaire X should cross the finish line of the Vendée Globe tomorrow during the day to finish in 12th place. For the prodigious skipper who seven years ago had not even sailed her first Mini class race it will be the high point of her rapid rise through the ranks in solo ocean racing, an extreme sailing discipline she chose over a career in business. As she passes the finish line off Les Sables d’Olonne she should break Ellen MacArthur’s 20 year old race record of 94 day and 4 hours.
