By Friday, the outcome of the Transat Paprec will be known. But who will have the final say? Who will seize the advantage, who will get stuck, who will claim an honorable finish, and who will be left disappointed? We’ll have to be patient a little longer—right up to the very end. While weather models differ on current options, they all agree on one thing: this will be a remarkably close finish. Less than three hours may separate most of the fleet at the finish line! Here’s a breakdown of the situation and a snapshot of a thrilling race finale.
RACE UPDATE
- Fewer than 240 nautical miles (444 kilometers) remain to the finish
- The absence of trade winds and steady breezes makes the race outcome highly uncertain

- As of the 3:00 PM (UTC) ranking, southern route sailors, including Demain (Martin Le Pape & Mathilde Géron) and Décrochons la lune (Romain Bouillard & Irina Gracheva), are leading

About the Transat Paprec:
Every two years, the Transat Paprec (formerly known as the Transat AG2R) offers teams the chance to compete against each other on the Atlantic aboard identical boats. The only transatlantic race on equal terms, since 1992 it has revealed the talents of men and women who take up this sporting and human challenge. Since 2023, at the instigation of the Paprec Group, the format has been unprecedented in ocean racing, as 100% of the duos must be made up of a woman and a man.
