Pro Sailing Tour – Episode 2: Winner of the inshore races and the 24hr-challenge, Leyton takes victory in Brest!

After falling off the pace a tad due to a slight technical glitch, Morgan, Aymeric and Pierre made a good sail change as they closed on the first course mark. With the J1 (large headsail) set, the Ocean Fifty Leyton was able to really power up and the trio made the rounding in first place. From there, they managed to hang onto the lead for the rest of the race, battling hard for every metre whilst their rivals jostled for supremacy in their wake. Shortly after 10:00 hours on Sunday morning, the blue and orange trimaran was first across the finish line, which also earned them the overall win in this second episode of the Pro Sailing Tour 2022 for the 2nd year running.

“The 24hr-race was fabulous but full-on! The sea state was harsh at times and the tacks were tight with a fair amount of breeze. We posted some great peaks of speed with our Ocean Fifty. Pierre and Morgan managed to coordinate well and get in synch to get the boat making fast headway. I admire the way Morgan integrated the team. He brought all his expertise to bear and gave us a different take on certain areas. In order to raise our game, it’s always interesting to have someone from outside look over things and share their opinion.”
