Peyron Out

Shortly after 1400 hours on Wednesday, Loick Peyron informed his shore crew about Gitana Eighty's dismasting. Barely three hours later, battling with what remained of the spar to manufacture a jury rig, the skipper of the monohull equipped by Baron Benjamin de Rothschild, went over this fateful incident during a special radio session. It is worth pointing out that Loick Peyron climbed to the top of the mast no later than yesterday and was able to perform a thorough and satisfactory check of the rig at that time.
