The fleet includes 118 competitors, while defending Ultim champion Charles Caudrelier faces a steep learning curve aboard a newly launched, highly complex trimaran. Unusual weather is also prompting teams to rethink their usual route. Inter-island Ferries: FRS Express des Îles has introduced a temporary fuel surcharge of €5 one way or €10 round trip on international routes, including services to Guadeloupe. The operator says it will review the charge every three months.
