Breaking: François Jambou forced to retire from Yuman.io

By Thomas Howson — La Solitaire du Figaro

Despite his best efforts to repair a torn mainsail, François Jambou, skipper of Yuman.io, has been forced to call it quits. The decision to withdraw from the race came after exhausting all repair options. Jambou becomes the fifth skipper to abandon the third and final leg of the Solitaire du Figaro Paprec, and is now heading back to Concarneau. ©Vincent Olivaud
