With 24 boats registered in the race having started from Les Sables d'Olonne (West coast of France) on November 5th the skippers are now close in the far southern oceans. Like with previous editions of this single handed around the world race -no stop or asstance allowed - PROFURL is deeply involved with more than 20 systems on board. Several of these boats have been fit with standard production models...an ultimate test for PROFURL reliabilty. |
