The team aboard the Sodebo Ultim 3 has been relentlessly pursuing the coveted Jules Verne Trophy for a month now. With stalwarts like Thomas Coville, Benjamin Schwartz, Frédéric Denis, Pierre Leboucher, Léonard Legrand, Guillaume Pirouelle, and Nicolas Troussel on board, the team embarked on this audacious journey on December 15th. Their journey so far has been marked by record-breaking times and awe-inspiring moments.

Surpassing challenges in the form of the three daunting capes - Good Hope, Leeuwin, and Horn - they have made remarkable progress, consistently maintaining an impressive average speed of 30 knots (56 km/h). However, they remain steadfast and focussed on their ultimate goal - breaking the round-the-world record held by IDEC Sport since 2017.
