THE ROARING 40S
The weather forecast for the opening few days of the Transat Cafe L'Or had already forced some changes across the fleets. The Ocean 50s were starting a day early to miss the worst while the Class 40s now had a pit stop on A Coruna inserted into their schedule. This now split their transatlantic dash into two legs, forcing all the crews to re-work their transatlantic strategy.
But, three days after the fleet had re-started from the Spanish port there was another big judgement to make as the weather split their options in two.
The questions was simple, go North or South?
The answer was very complex and turned the 3,200 mile race to Martinique into a 13 day nail biter.
We take a look at how the race played out in this fiercely competitive fleet.
