Geronimo arrived at back in Brest , at 1630 (French time) yesterday afternoon, seven days after Olivier de Kersauson’s decision to restart his attempt on the Jules Verne Trophy.

As soon as she was secure alongside, the gennakers that caused the trimaran’s u-turn were taken off immediately and transported to the Incidences sail loft in Brest for modification.

The sailmakers have put every measure in place to ensure that the necessary changes can be made in the minimum possible time so that the Cap Gemini Schneider Electric team can set sail again as soon as a favourable weather window presents itself.
