About 11th, quite amazing if the boat didn't suffer any damage after a collision at 27 knts or something. Would be interesting to know where was the impact, and hope Charlie and Amory are recovering fast !
lol, they didn't, you haven't followed enough races yet to know that the tracker position sampling results in these impressions ?
In fact you most probably did ...
I'm talking about winning the race, not finishing it.
Jeremie is a bit in the same position as Alex was, he has put everything on winning the VG for 3 or 4 cycles now
Jérémie is kind of on the age limit, and took a lot of risk with his new boat (plus Charal isn't really a "green" sponsor), the next VG will be his last attempt most probably, but clearly some cards to play ..
Yes, like half a windsurf wishbone (and curved too), main reason to have a true deck sweeping main I guess, seems to me she didn't have this boom right from the beginning, no ?
Why ?
As to thre exact model, I'm not sure, but could be below one :

Note : I wonder whether they have an additional system to tension the forestay, I think they do (at the bottom)
"Not much competition was there at this Atlantic Challenge: new boats and renowned skippers, "
This is a mistranslation, he is saying "a lot of competition was missing on this race : new boats and reknowed skippers"
