Published: 15 Nov 2025
Grabbing a moment to absorb and appreciate the achievement, the second-place finish at the Transat Café L'OR brings introspection and joy.

The furious waves of the sea carry tales of courage in their depths and the thrill of victory on their crests. Among such narratives is the compelling story of Francesca Clapcich and William Harris, who recently clinched second place were at the Transat Café L’OR in the IMOCA division.

Every waking moment leading up to their performance was a busy whirlwind, filled with challenges, hard work, and endless preparation. Between the Course des Caps, The Ocean Race Europe, and the recent Transat Café L’OR, their collective efforts were intense and non-stop. Not to mention their participation in the Ocean Fifty Grand Prix at the beginning of the year, a memory they cherish as they sail through their seafaring journey.

Their success is not just a function of their combined efforts but a testament to the dedicated individuals surrounding them, putting in the extra hours and going the extra mile to make the campaign possible. The team’s accomplishments are not created by a single gust of wind but every moving part that aided navigation. Savoring this glorious moment, it is evident that the tales they tell are not just about the finish line, but every wave they rode, every storm they weathered, and every star they steered by.
