Lucky 13th for Géry Trentesaux: Overall Winner - Rolex Fastnet Race 2015: Géry Trentesaux and his JPK 10.80 Courrier Du Leon have been confirmed by the Royal Ocean Racing Club as winner of the 2015 Rolex Fastnet Race. For this the team will receive the Fastnet Challenge Trophy at tonight’s prizegiving, an event doubling as the 90th anniversary celebrations of the RORC’s flagship offshore race. In this, the Frenchman’s 13th attempt at the Rolex Fastnet Race since his first in 1977, Trentesaux’s performance was exceptional, beating Arnaud Delamare and Eric Mordret’s second placed JPK 10.80 sistership, Dream Pearls, by 2 hours 20 minutes. And this was despite being over early at the windless start and taking 40 minutes to restart..." more results here.

Extreme Sailing Series Act 6, Rolex Fastnet Race 2015 Line Honors

3D St Petersburg: Day One (graphics only sailing video above) Extreme Sailing Series™ 2015 - Starts: August 20, 2015 THU 7:30 AM ET (US) - Saint Petersburg, Russia | Extreme Sailing Series: Act 6, Peter and Paul fortress, 20-23 Aug 2015

Hannah White makes her predictions for Act 6, Saint Petersburg | News: "... One team used to the challenges of this racecourse is Gazprom Team Russia. With a third position at Act 3, Qingdao and a second at Act 5, Hamburg, I believe the local team has the potential to take the Act win on their home waters. They’re looking strong and progressively getting podium results. They secured their best position in Hamburg and they’ll have the home advantage in Russia, which I hope will take a little pressure off them. With increased confidence after two podium positions, you can see they’re finding their feet. Gazprom Team Russia have really focused on their team dynamic and stuck with the same crew formation this season. They’ve overcome initial challenges as basic as language and communication onboard, and they’re getting into their stride ..."
