It is a brutal blow for the skipper who since the South Atlantic has been presenting a serious challenge to race leader Charlie Dalin, but whilst Simon is bitterly disappointed he immediately pledged to fight on and finish the race. After days of supersonic speeds (including the record for the greatest distance covered in 24 hours solo in a monohull, 615.33 miles covered between 26 and 27 November), Simon had benefited from a brilliant strategy but now he will inevitably slow up, losing power on port gybe.
"Bad news aboard Groupe Dubreuil. Last night, I lost the starboard foil. I was sleeping when the boat suddenly broached. I went into the cockpit to ease the sheets. I quickly sensed from the feel that something was wrong, the boat was no longer responding in the same way. I quickly understood what it was. I went to check on deck and the foil was broken at the elbow, the most curved part of the foil,” reported Simon, who did not hear any significant noise, possibly because he had his earplugs in which is very normal among skippers to limit the constant debilitating noise and facilitate sleep.
