Thomas Coville on board the maxi-trimaran Sodeb'O, crossed the start line on Tuesday 18th November, in his bid to beat the record for the solo round the world race against the clock in a multihull.

To beat Francis Joyon's record, Coville will have to pass the Petit Minou lighthouse at the entrance to Brest harbour by 15 January 2009 at 03 hours, 27 minutes and 20 seconds GMT.
