Sotraplants-TRS is back at sea

Matthieu Foulquier-Gazagnes and Xavier Brohers were forced to take shelter on the Spanish coast, in the port of Javea, when the spinnaker of their Class40, Sotraplants-TRS, tore and rolled up on the front stays, forcing them back into the race on Friday. In spite of an additional problem, the reverser on the engine failing, the Franco-Belgian duo decided to head for Saïdia, with the race directors assuring them that they would not be disqualified. Go, Matthieu and Xavier.
