______________________________________________________________________

Thursday morning 20 March 2003, at 4 h 58 min and 11s GMT (5h 58'11" French time), the 34-m maxi trimaran Geronimo built by Multiplast and designed by Marc Van Peteghem & Vincent Lauriot-Prevost, crossed the finishing line of the Jules Verne Trophy near Ushant island after 68 days 1 hour 58 minutes 2 seconds at sea.
Though he failed to take back his trophy, skipper Olivier de Kersauzon and his 10 crew members established the second best time of the Jules Verne Trophy behind maxi catamaran Orange designed by the Gilles Ollier Design Team and built by Multiplast.
