Once again the Rolex Fastnet Race has proven the immense power of the grand prix multihull. The 32 metre (105 foot) French trimaran SVR Lazartigue crossed the line at 21:38:27 BST on 23 July beating Banque Populaire by just under an hour.
Completing the 695nm race in a time of one day 8 hours 38 minutes 27 seconds, François Gabart's crew set a new outright race record, beating the previous benchmark by just over 36 minutes.
