Yesterday afternoon, the boat had already arrived in the Elbe estuary and then sailed further up the Elbe. The team has already posted an interesting video of the crossing on YouTube, which gives an insight into how the crew works in the cockpit and on deck, and how and where they sleep. The first repairs have also already been carried out, with the electric-hydraulic swivelling keel going on strike for a while. At the start in Brittany, the team met future opponents such as "Linked Out" and sailed in parallel with three or four other Imocas for quite a while. A nice insight into what it's like to sail a boat on a long distance.
The last stretch from Wedel up the Elbe as well as the arrival and christening will be broadcast live on the Internet by NDR.
