(Reuters) -Charlotte Yven on Friday became the first woman to win the Transat Paprec twice, crossing the Caribbean finish line with co-skipper Hugo Dhallenne after a nail-biting finale that saw the top 13 boats finish within three hours of each other.
The Skipper Macif duo navigated through a Caribbean calm that compressed the fleet in the final days, erasing comfortable leads and giving the 3,890-nautical-mile race from Concarneau, France, one of the tightest finishes in its history.
