Holcim-PRB

[a-solitary-sea-rover-backup]

One week on exactly since Nico Lunven (IMOCA Holcim-PRB) set a new solo 24-hours monohull distance record on the second day of the 2024-25 Vendée Globe, Paprec Arkéa solo skipper Yoann Richomme dramatically bettered that mark on the Vendée Globe, before running out of track and hitting the buffers as he and the other leaders of the solo non stop race around the world slowed into the Doldrums.

Richomme’s pace would surpass the same record set by Nicolas Lunven on the second day of the 2024-25 Vendée Globe, covering 546.60 nautical miles in 24 hours.

The contrast could not have been more marked. Richomme sailed a distance of 551.84 nautical miles in the 24 hours up to 0830hrs in near perfect conditions. But a few short hours later he was all but stopped, floating in almost millpond like winds that had ‘welcomed’ him to the Doldrums.

Reflecting the speed and efficiency of his latest generation Finot Conq-Coch design, on his record sprint windspeeds were relatively modest a around 17 knots but, emerging from a high pressure ridge of light winds, the seas were very flat which allowed the double solo Transat winner to push hard in relative comfort. He betters Lunven’s record by 5.24 miles (all to be ratified by WSSRC).
