Tschüss 2 Claims IRC Super Zero Victory at the 2025 Rolex Fastnet Race Christian Zugel’s Tschüss 2 (USA70000), co-skippered by Johnny Mordaunt, has taken the win in the highly competitive IRC Super Zero division at the centenary edition of the Rolex Fastnet Race. The VO70 completed the iconic offshore course in an elapsed time of 2 days, 17 hours, and 21 minutes, crossing the finish line off Cherbourg at 05:11 BST on 29 July 2025. With a TCC of 1.617, Tschüss 2 corrected out to a final time of 4 days, 9 hours, and 40 minutes — edging ahead of high-calibre rivals including Roy Disney’s Pyewacket 70 and the 30m Leopard 3, skippered by Chris Sherlock. The win caps off an outstanding season for the former Groupama 4 VO70, originally skippered by Franck Cammas in the Volvo Ocean Race. Now flying the flag for the United States, Tschüss 2 continues to build an impressive offshore racing legacy under Zugel’s leadership. #RolexFastnetRace #Tschüss2 #IRCZero #OffshoreRacing #RORCracing #VO70

Jeudi 12 mars matin, petite brise à l'horizon, idéale pour une sortie dans la baie des Sables d'Olonne pour l'équipe commerciale Alubat ! Hakim Rahmoun, nouveau Directeur Général d'Alubat, est à la barre de ce chantier naval Sablais depuis janvier 2020 et teste pour la première fois le nouveau voilier de grand voyage 100% aluminium, l'OVNI 400. Denis Vanlaere, Responsable export, assure les réglages pour optimiser les performances de ce dériveur intégral tout confort ! Cécilia Edeline, Responsable commerciale France, immortalise cette sortie derrière sa caméra ;-) et a pu tester avec grand plaisir la manoeuvrabilité de ce voilier dans le Port Olona. A l'unanimité, l'OVNI 400 est réactif et très doux au passage de la vague et l'ensemble des manoeuvres de voiles s'effectuent en toute sérénité et sécurité, bien protégé dans le cockpit. Petit aperçu rapide à travers cette vidéo du plaisir à la barre ! Qui sera le prochain à venir le tester ? On Thursday morning 12th of March, with a gentle breeze, the Alubat sales team has decided to sail around the Bay of Les Sables d'Olonne ! Hakim Rahmoun, new Managing Director of Alubat, has been managing the shipyard since January 2020 and testing for the first time the new 100% aluminium blue water cruising sailboat, the OVNI 400. Denis Vanlaere, Export Manager, takes care of the sails adjustments optimizing the performances of this lifting keel sailboat ! Cécilia Edeline, Sales Manager for France, immortalize this moment behind her camera ;-) and has tested with great pleasure the manoeuvres with this boat in the Port Olona. Unanimously, the OVNI 400 is reactive and very smooth in the waves. The centralization of the sails manoeuvres in the cockpit is very appreciated as it is safe and protected. Here's just a little insight through this video of the pleasure of sailing ! Who will be the next to test her ?
