Eric de Turckheim's French Nivelt-Muratet 54 Teasing Machine was today declared the overall winner of the 2017 RORC Transatlantic Race. Whilst a number of the record 23 yacht fleet are still racing, none of them can better Teasing Machine's corrected time under IRC. Teasing Machine is the smallest yacht to win the RORC Transatlantic Trophy, which has been previously won by yachts in the Maxi Class.

The 2017 Rolex Middle Sea Race will be known for the record attrition among the 104 teams that started the 606nm circumnavigation of Sicily and surrounding islands on October 21. Only 30 boats have overcome the brutal conditions to cross the finish line.
It was the debut race for Eric de Turckheim´s Nivelt Muratet 54 Teasing Machine and a great succes for this that team has proven to be a solid competitor with a lot of potential to exploit.
