The crew of Trimaran SVR-Lazartigue set sail from their home port yesterday at 2:00 p.m., filled with high hopes as they crossed the starting line in the night of Tuesday, January 21st at 1:49 a.m. Despite some uncertainties regarding the weather window quality, the team, true to their daring philosophy, decided to take the chance.

However, after a few hours at sea, the latest meteorological files confirmed that the necessary conditions to break the expected record would not be met. Consequently, the crew made the thoughtful decision to turn back and return to base, opting to wait for a more favorable window in the coming weeks.

A Philosophy Based on Audacity and Adaptation

The decision to set sail, despite initial uncertain forecasts, mirrors the mindset of the SVR-Lazartigue team: seizing every opportunity while remaining pragmatic in the face of unforeseen circumstances. This demanding strategy allows the crew to maximize their chances while minimizing unnecessary risks.

This early return is by no means a defeat for the crew but a step in their quest for the record. With potential favorable weather windows in the weeks ahead, this postponed attempt could prove to be a wise choice, enabling optimal preparation for the next departure.
