______________________________________________________________________

Congratulations to Franck Cammas who, by crossing the finishing line in Guadeloupe on board Groupama 3, has won this 9th Route du Rhum.
Magnificent performance
Less than 8 months after winning the Trophée Jules Verne (round-the-world record of 48 days 7 hrs 44 mins 52 secs), it has been a wonderful performance by Franck on this maxi trimaran. This victory brings the Multiplast boatyard its first success as a builder in this legendary race.

Yann Penfornis, Managing Director of MULTIPLAST: "...to succeed in winning the Route du Rhum against contenders with boats more suited to single-handed sailing proves the top level of this sailor, and also the whole of his technical team. In addition, this success is particularly important for the company, since up till now the MULTIPLAST record of achievements is comprised mainly of crew-manned records. All our workers feel great pride in having taken part in such a challenge..."

Reference
Groupama 3's race time: 9 days 3 hours 14 minutes and 47 seconds.
Average speed: 20.39 knots.
Distance sailed: 4,471 miles.
