Sailing: Montpellier's Achille Nebout wins the Med Max in Class40 with Gildas Mahé

Deuxième victoire de la saison pour Achille Nebout et Amarris. Midi Libre – François Rivier

The skipper of Amarris arrived early on Friday 4 October in Saïdia, Morocco.

Achille Nebout from Montpellier won the first edition of the Med Max in the Class40 category at 7:22 am Saïdia time in Morocco. With Gildas Mahé on Amarris, he will beat Centrakor and Tyrolit to the finish line. In the running throughout the race, the skipper now based in Lorient took the lead on the last day at sea and never let go.

A symbolic victory for him who grew up on the shores of the Mediterranean and is still licensed with Maugio Carnon and whose parents are close to Kito de Pavant, the organizer of this new race.

Second victory for the year

This is Achille Nebout's second victory this year after the Quebec – Saint-Malo and a new performance since he bought this new boat whose worst performance is a fourth place.
