The seriously damaged part is no longer operational and the crew does not have sufficient means aboard to repair it. \u201cThe incident relates to a rudder that had already kicked up the previous day after an impact or excessive loading. Unfortunately, the same rudder was affected last night: this time, when the rudder shifted back and came out of its housing, one of the lateral supports broke. The aluminium parts which hold the bearing at the top of the rudder split in half and the link rod is twisted. We still had a long way to go on this tack\u2026\u201d explains the crew. They are doing well and making for Port-La-For\u00eat.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small with_line width_default thick_1 style_solid color_border align_center\"><div class=\"w-separator-h\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_text_column\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><p>Share this article:<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-sharing type_simple align_none color_default\"><div class=\"w-sharing-list\"><a class=\"w-sharing-item facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42581&amp;quote=RETIREMENT OF THE CLASS40 TRIMCONTROL\" title=\"Share this\" aria-label=\"Share this\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, &quot;facebook&quot;, &quot;toolbar=0,width=900,height=500&quot;); return false;\"><i class=\"fab fa-facebook\"><\/i><\/a><a class=\"w-sharing-item twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=RETIREMENT OF THE CLASS40 TRIMCONTROL&amp;url=https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42581\" title=\"Share this\" aria-label=\"Share this\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, &quot;twitter&quot;, &quot;toolbar=0,width=650,height=360&quot;); return false;\"><i class=\"fab fa-x-twitter\"><svg style=\"width:1em; margin-bottom:-.1em;\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M389.2 48h70.6L305.6 224.2 487 464H345L233.7 318.6 106.5 464H35.8L200.7 275.5 26.8 48H172.4L272.9 180.9 389.2 48zM364.4 421.8h39.1L151.1 88h-42L364.4 421.8z\"\/><\/svg><\/i><\/a><a class=\"w-sharing-item linkedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42581\" title=\"Share this\" aria-label=\"Share this\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, &quot;linkedin&quot;, &quot;toolbar=no,width=550,height=550&quot;); return false;\"><i class=\"fab fa-linkedin\"><\/i><\/a><a class=\"w-sharing-item pinterest\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42581&amp;media=https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250525NCR_2JML0375bd-1-1024x683.jpg&amp;description=RETIREMENT OF THE CLASS40 TRIMCONTROL\" title=\"Pin this\" aria-label=\"Pin this\" onclick=\"window.open(this.href, &quot;pinterest&quot;, &quot;toolbar=no,width=700,height=300&quot;); return false;\"><i class=\"fab fa-pinterest\"><\/i><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_large\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-post-elm post_navigation layout_sided inv_false\"><a class=\"post_navigation-item order_first to_prev\" href=\"https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/en\/tough-night-in-the-cic-normandy-channel-race-2\/\" title=\"TOUGH NIGHT IN THE CIC NORMANDY CHANNEL RACE AS THE FLEET CLOSES ON FASTNET\"><div class=\"post_navigation-item-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250525NCR_3JML0404bd-1-300x200.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"><\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-arrow\"><\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-title\"><span>TOUGH NIGHT IN THE CIC NORMANDY CHANNEL RACE AS THE FLEET CLOSES ON FASTNET<\/span><\/div><\/a><a class=\"post_navigation-item order_second to_next\" href=\"https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/en\/radio-interviews-28th-may-2025\/\" title=\"RADIO INTERVIEWS 28th MAY 2025\"><div class=\"post_navigation-item-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/normandy-race.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/250525NCR_2JML0313bd-1-300x200.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"><\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-arrow\"><\/div><div class=\"post_navigation-item-title\"><span>RADIO INTERVIEWS 28th MAY 2025<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"RETIREMENT OF THE CLASS40 TRIMCONTROL The Class40 Trimcontrol (190) helmed by Alexandre Le Gallais and Michel Desjoyeaux contacted Race Management to announce their retirement from the race after breaking their rudder system at around 03:00 hours this morning.
