On October 15, the stand-by of the maxi-trimaran Sodebo Ultim 3 will begin with a view to setting off to attack the legendary Jules Verne Trophy.

To break the crewed round-the-world record, her skipper Thomas Coville chose to take seven sailors on board with him.

They are François Duguet, Thomas Rouxel, Sam Goodchild, Corentin Horeau, François Morvan, Matthieu Vandame and Martin Keruzoré as mediaman.

His lifelong accomplice Jean-Luc Nélias will remain on the ground and ensure the routing, as he had done during Coville's solo round-the-world record attempts.

Since January 2017, the Jules Verne Trophy has been held by Francis Joyon and the Idec Sport crew in 40 days, 23 hours, 30 minutes and 30 seconds.
