The Team Thierry Bosser/Alain Gramme have won the 2008 edition of the MExT Multihull Cup. After 3 hours, 58 minutes and 37 seconds of sailing they had a 37 second advance on the second team, last year's winner Emmanuel Boulogne with Tanguy Kervyn. Luc Hennebel & Marc Vanden Haute took third place at 5 minutes and 2 seconds from the winners.

The race didn't start too well for Bosser/Gramme as they only arrived fifth at the first mark of the race. The upwind leg from Ostend towards Nieuwpoort allowed them to move up to second place behind Boulogne/Tanguy who led from the start. The leg from Nieuwpoort to Blankenberge was again a difficult one as the wind was very strong with variable directions. This required them to keep concentrated all the way. Bosser/Gramme began the last lap from Blankenberge to Ostend in third place with more than 4 minutes behind the leaders Boulogne/Tanguy.

After a successful test last year, the organisation is proud to announce that it will again be possible to follow the Multihull Cup live on the internet. At each mark rounding, time and position will be taken of each competitor. This information will be transmitted to a server which will publish the information on our website.

For 2008, a number of enhancements have been implemented: it is now possible to be updated through SMS, e-mail or Windows Messenger of each mark rounding of your favorite. For a flat fee of 5 euro you can register on our website and during the race you will receive the updates the same moment they are published on the internet.
