For this 9th edition, the Transat Jacques Vabre 2009 is heading for Costa Rica in Central America. The double-handed transatlantic race, of which the start will be given in Le Havre, France, on 7th November for the monohulls and 8th November for the multihulls, is thus heading towards a brand new Coffee destination, which follows the great shipping route. The Caribbean Sea as the final home straight with the goal of Costa Rica After four editions bound for Columbia, then four more with the destination of Brazil, the Transat Jacques Vabre fleet will now be making for Puerto Limon, the gateway to Costa Rica on the Caribbean coast. Since its creation in 1993 and after what already amounts to 8 editions, the Transat Jacques Vabre has continued to make progress on every level. Whether it be in terms of participants (with 62 participants in 2007, compared with 36 in 2005), public infatuation or even the quality of the media plan, the race is as passionate as ever. With a country as authentic as Costa Rica as a new destination, the sailors, partners and organisers of the Transat Jacques Vabre await 2009 with bated breath… IMOCA 2009 Ranking 1 Marc Guillemot (Safran) 362 pts 2 Michel Desjoyeaux (Foncia) 357 pts 3 Armel Le Cléac'h (Britair) 338 pts 4 Sam Davies (Artemis II) 321 pts 5 Vincent Riou (PRB) 304 pts 6 Dee Caffari (Aviva) 295 pts 7 Arnaud Boissières (Akena Vérandas) 292 pts 8 Brian Thompson (Brian Thomson Racing) 281 pts 9 Steve White (Spirit of Weymouth) 250 pts 10 Richard Wilson (Great American III) 220 pts 28.11.2009 - A highly instructive Transat Jacques Vabre 28.11.2009 - ARTEMIS OCEAN RACING CROSSES THE FINISH LINE 27.11.2009 - Swashbuckling Caribbean Finale 27.11.2009 - Swashbuckling Caribbean Finale 27.11.2009 - A look back at the highlights of this transatlantic win 26.11.2009 - Silent Running for Puerto Limon, Two by Two 25.11.2009 - Golding and Sanso third 24.11.2009 - News Flash Groupe Bel 24.11.2009 - Safran - Winner of the 2009 Transat Jacques Vabre 24.11.2009 - A happiest of memories for Marc Guillemot as safran wins Transat 24.11.2009 - Multi 50 Crêpes Whaou! broke the finish line off Puerto Limon 23.11.2009 - Close to the finish 22.11.2009 - Coffee route with a kick 20.11.2009 - Chase into the Caribbean 19.11.2009 - Hard Miles, Easy Miles 18.11.2009 - Compression Theory 18.11.2009 - First battle won, just in time... 17.11.2009 - Stable and racing fast 17.11.2009 - Safran leads at half way 16.11.2009 - Artemis: BRUISED AND BATTERED BUT STILL FIGHTING ON 16.11.2009 - Hugo Boss damaged, slowed to assess damage 15.11.2009 - Bolting for the Caribbean 15.11.2009 - A well deserved change in fortunes? 14.11.2009 - Sunday is Sun Day? 14.11.2009 - BT Yacht Rescue Pictures 14.11.2009 - Phase Two, a new chapter 13.11.2009 - BRITISH SKIPPER RULES OUT PITSTOP 13.11.2009 - Storm or Superstitious? 13.11.2009 - BT skippers safe and sound, 13.11.2009 - BT activates distress beacon - rescue operation underway 13.11.2009 - A blockbuster 12.11.2009 - Sam Davies on Artemis Ocean Racing survives fourth night 12.11.2009 - Northern Exposure 11.11.2009 - Open season 10.11.2009 - AVOIDING 70 KNOT WINDS!
