Two British Teams Withdraw from Artemis Transat
Team Pindar today announced its withdrawal from the Artemis Transat, which begins in Plymouth on May 11. Skippered by leading British yachtsman, Brian Thompson, the team’s preparations have been severely hampered following delays in the design and build of the new mast.

Based in Gosport, the team has been working around the clock to get the Juan Kouyoumdjian designed, Open 60 ready in time. With the mast installation set back until next week, it leaves only a matter of days for Thompson to undertake the 1,000-mile qualifier and make it to Plymouth for the race start.
