Thomas Jundt, Antoine Ravonel and Eric Gobet have won their first major regatta on board their spectacular hydrofoils 18'footer Mirabaud LX, winning the 32 Miles return-course between Geneva and the town of Rolle in 3 hours 43minutes.

Jo Richards and his crew onboard Full Pelt finished two minutes late. Oyster - the fabulous Seb Schmidt prototype - completed the podium lineup 15 minutes later.

Mirabaud LX has smashed the previous record, held until now by a Psaros 40 in a time of 3hrs 55 mins.
