Spindrift Racing, maxi trimaran Spindrift 2 has arrived back in home port La Trinite-sur-Mer after delivery back from Miami after the succesful Discovery Route record attempt

From the following press release on Spindrift Racing website:

After leaving on October 7 from Lorient for Portimao for the standby for the Discovery Route, Spindrift 2 is back in Brittany. In 1 month and 19 days, Spindrift 2 has covered 10,317 miles, broken the record for the Discovery Route with a new record time of 6 days 14 hours and 29 minutes, crossed the Atlantic twice and sailed in all conditions and in all sea states. It has been a perfect learning curve about this great boat for the skippers and also for the whole team. So, it is with some satisfaction that the team, led by Yann Guichard, returned to Breton waters and moored up last night in its home harbour in La Trinité-sur-Mer.
