Two-handed class leader at the Rock, JPK 10.30 Léon is skippered by Alexis Loison – 2013 winner of the 2013 Fastnet Challenge Cup and Jean-Pierre Kelbert of JPK – maker of the boat

Léon has been very fast.

We are happy that last night we were faster than Henry (Bomby) and Hannah (Diamond) on Fastrak and Louis-Marie (Dusserre) on Raging Bee. We are expecting a fast reach to the finish, maybe 110º wind angle and more than 30 knots of wind.

Hopefully we will finish the race in about 24 hours (approx. 1700 Tuesday 06 August).”
