With 15 meters of l' arrival, the Octo catamaran Be engaged to capsized to the last tacking. Much d' emotions…. they n' released anything applying the council of Thomas Coville who had left them this message d' encouragement at the time d' a vacation. After the last efforts Octo Finances with last the line d' arrived at 14:03 minutes and 55 seconds under the applause and the hurrahs of theirs of women, their children and many friends who supported them. With the pontoon of the city of the veil, Norbert Smallholding, President de Cap L' The East, country d' reception and of Arnaud De Bourrousse, Founder president d' Octo Finances were there to give the traditional bottle of champagne under the applause to them of lorientais come many: : " c' is true that the boat is small, but the project is ambitieux" declare Benoît with l' arrival. 3628 traversed miles, 8,7 nodes of average, 1 damaged float, some wounds which will be vites cured, 1 play Mobil for fellow-member and a constant humour qu' they kept and divided throughout the crossing: " J' hope for qu' one will give desire to young people for launching out on new roads, without forgetting that requires much d' experiment and of preparation and qu' one n' any sound small comfort on board does not have! " , known as Pym with the smile.

Also sounds like the boat was damaged and they had injuries from the capsize. Good thing it happened to close to the finish.
