Région Ile de France wins the first offshore leg
Pierre Loïc Berthet leads the provional rankings
vendredi 5 juillet 2002 –
Jimmy Pahun snatched victory in the first 187-mile offshore race from Dunkerque to Cherbourg.
His boat Région Ile de France crossed the finish line at 24:02:40 only two minutes ahead of Nantes-St-Nazaire, skippered by Pierre Loïc Berthet. British boat Panther Team GBR of Rob Greenhalgh came home in third but for the moment this result is not being counted as they failed to pass a mark "Antifer". There is jury hearing scheduled for tomorrow at 1:00.
Therefore, Marseille skippered by Dimitri Deruelle, who came in forth, is provisionally third.
Student boat Force EDC skippered by Australia’s Simon Sutherland had a very good race and managed to finish in sixth. Owen Modral’s Royal Thames came 22nd. After such a long and demanding first offshore leg it was remarkable that the fleet managed to finish in such a tight pack.
