The Arkea Ultim Challenge Brest is an extraordinary race between six exceptional sailors aboard a fleet of incredible machines, most of them fully foiling.
The race started on 7 January 2024 and is expected to take between 40-50 days for the front runners.
PlanetSail went to Brest ahead of the start to talk to one of the favourites and current monohull round the world record holder, Armel Le Cleac’h aboard Maxi Banque Populaire XI.
