IMOCA Class - Goodchild takes his first win

Goodchild takes his first win in the IMOCA Class after a dominant performance in the Course des Caps “It went pretty much as expected," said Goodchild at the finish. “It was intense, non-stop. We started with no wind and finished with too much wind. It was kind of what we anticipated – a proper ride. But I’m incredibly proud to have finished first on MACIF Santé Prévoyance, on this amazing boat, with an incredible team.

In the Course des Caps - Boulogne sur Mer - Banque Populaire du Nord, the Onboard Reporters, or OBRs, are back doing a wonderful job of bringing IMOCA racing to life with pictures, videos, interviews and reports from the boats. After four days at sea, the OBRs on each of the now 10 yachts taking part in this 2,000-nautical mile race around Britain and Ireland, have been settling into life on board and finding ways to work so that they report on what is going on without obstructing their sailors.
