Drheam cup 2018

Back to the Drheam Cup, the first real-life test for the MADBrain pilot with Samantha Davies and Lalou Roucayrol

The start of the 2nd edition of the Drheam Cup was given on Monday 23rd July at 3pm. Among the 75 boats entered, we followed closely two of our clients: Samantha Davies (Initiatives CĹ“ur) and Lalou Roucayrol (Arkema), who set off in the direction of the Fastnet Rock, for a total of 736 miles to cover, with a qualification for the Route du Rhum 2018 at stake.

After leading for most of the race, Samantha Davies crossed the finish line at 11:53am on Friday, taking first place in the IMOCA class.

As for Lalou Roucayrol, he took second place in the Multi-50 category after a tight race, finishing only 15 minutes behind the leader!

After holding our breath for the last three days, our team is finally breathing a sigh of relief as we celebrate our clients' victories and savour the great performance of our latest addition: the MadBrain driver, which is equipping the boats of our two champions, whose very first regatta it was!

After this week full of emotions, these great performances give a great outlook for our pilot, as well as for our champions, whose success we hope will be seen in the Route du Rhum 2018.
Bravo Samantha, bravo Lalou, and bravo MadBrain.
