Captain Tom Coville and his magnificent yacht Sodebo training and stress-testing whilst waiting for the right Mistral conditions for an attempt on the solo multihull record between Marseille and Carthage (Tunisia). Sodebo will leave Marseille tomorrow (Wednesday) for the 458 mile long Transmed route heading towards Carthage, keeping Corsica and Sardinia to port.This record attempt will be swiftly followed by another the indomitable Thomas knows well – Cadiz (Spain) – San Salvador (Bahamas). Having held this record from 2005-2008 he would like to reclaim it from Francis Joyon before the end of 2012. More great shots here from Christophe Launay.
