Sebastien Destremau discovers crack in bow of Merci

During a routine inspection of Merci, a large crack was discovered in the bow of the IMOCA at the bowsprit. Destremau writes......

"This morning like every morning, I go out on the deck to go for my little walk. At the bow I discovered a crack across the bow at the bowsprit from side to side. A glance under the bow and I have the impression that the bowsprit is broken and separating from the boat. My biggest fear is for the anchoring point for the forestay of the J2 which is there. "

Louis Burton “I am on a roll”

Happy to be 5th in the Vendée Globe at the moment, and just super content to be happy, Louis Burton (Bureau Vallée 2) is motivated by the intensity of the competition, comparing the sailing to being on the Bay of Morbihan... and listening to complete works of the French singer George Brassens.
