Maxime Nocher sets a new record by crossing between France and Corsica in 4 hours and 13 minutes! He left Thursday morning at 9:00, after traveling 92 nautical miles (170 km), with an average of nearly 22 knots (40.40 km / h), Max arrived into the Bay of Calvi, France at 13:13. This was his second attempt and it was a very good one, he had already attempted the same crossing last week, but was forced to return to Monaco for lack of favorable weather conditions.
This performance allows Maxime Nocher to dethrone, with more than an hour gap in time, his boss and F-One CEO Raphael Salles who had completed the same crossing in 5 hours and 19 minutes on the F-One Gun Long Distance Board.
“I’m very glad I could break this record,” said Maxime Nocher after completing the crossing into the Bay of Calvi, Corsica, France.
With 7 World Champion Titles and 9 French Champion Titles, the young athlete adds a line to his already impressive record.
