Vendée Globe

Three weeks after Gitana Eighty’s dismasting in the Indian Ocean, Loïck Peyron arrived in Perth at 0845 this morning (local time) after sailing over 2800 miles under jury rig. After customs formalities, Loïck Peyron was able to join up with Dominique Wavre and Mike Golding. It was an opportunity for the three sailors to share their thoughts and discuss the terms of the repatriation of their respective boats. In mid-January, Gitana Eighty, Temenos and Ecover are due to be loaded onto the same cargo ship bound for Europe. Once reassured, Loïck hopped onto a plane to return to France just four hours after reaching Australia.
