While part of the IMOCA fleet is on its way to Plymouth for the start of The Transat, PAPREC-VIRBAC II is continuing her spring refit. As well as checking over all the different parts of the monohull, the strakes, one of the innovations for this refit, are currently being finished. In the next few days, the paint and coating work is scheduled to be done. Meanwhile, the rest of the team are making the small adjustments that Jean Pierre asked for, after his round the world voyage last winter, and before the Vendée Globe. PAPREC-VIRBAC II’s relaunch is planned for early June.
