She has won the first leg of the 2007 Mini-Transat : Who can beat Isabelle Joschke ? The answer will come in Bahia at the end of the second leg. But during the first one, no one could sail faster. She won this leg one from La Rochelle to Funchal in Madeira and she is the SeaSailSurfer of the month.
This year, Isabelle and her Finot-Coq prototype mini has won two races. She let the others to Le Blévec, Laureyssens and Caracci. But in the first leg, she was the best ! She took the lead at the end of the first day before perfectly rounding cape Finisterra. Then she sailed uneder the direct route to get more wind and more speed. She finished in Funchal 4h20 ahead of Manuard, 5h15 ahead of Le Blévec and 10 hours ahead of Deshayes. Well done ! Now she has to control her competitors in the long second leg toward Brazil. To be the first woman to win the Mini-Transat and to enter in the small list of women to have won a solo transtlantic race.
