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.

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 past three days, our team is finally breathing a sigh of relief as we celebrate our customers' victories, and savour the fine performance of our latest product: the MadBrain Autopilot , fitted to the boats of our two champions, whose very first regatta this was!
After this week full of emotions, these great performances give a very good outlook for our Autopilot, as well as for our champions, whose success we hope to see in the Route du Rhum 2018.
Bravo Samantha, bravo Lalou, and bravo MadBrain.
