Transat AG2R Concarneau-Saint-Barth
In a suspenseful final, the skippers of "Gedimat" crossed the finish line of the 13th Transat AG2R La Mondiale as winners with only 4 minutes and 4 seconds ahead of the duo Nicolas Lunven - Gildas Mahé on " General ".
What a final! Without wind, the leading skippers of the Transat fought to the end neck and neck. In this game, the duo of Breton sailors Thierry Chabagny - Erwan Tabarly crossed the finish line first in the port of Gustavia yesterday, after 22 days and 1 h 6 '53' '. To the cheers of the children, they clinched a magnificent victory. A great revenge after their dismasting during the 2014 edition of the Transat, when they were at the head of the fleet. 4 minutes and 4 seconds after Gedimat, Nicolas Lunven and Gildas Mahé (Generali) took second place. Then, Adrien Hardy and Vincent Biarnes (Agir Recouvrement) were quick to take third place just behind. "My feeling ? A feeling of happiness ”, declared Chabagny after having uncorked a bottle of champagne and watered the public massed on the quay. “Happy, happy, happy!” Reacted Tabarly, who was savoring the victory acquired on the occasion of his eighth participation in this Ag2r transatlantic race. _AF
