Yannick Bestaven, race leader, is snared in a zone of light winds and can do nothing more than try to keep crawling north whilst always monitoring the progress of his rivals. On the morning call with Race HQ in Les Sables d'Olonne he explained...
Britain’s Pip Hare is looking for a benevolent small weather window in the depths of the South Pacific Ocean to allow her to replace the port rudder of her IMOCA Medallia after she discovered a crack in its stock (the shaft which locates into the hull of the boat).

Pip Hare has just reported that she has had to transition out of full race mode for the meantime as she has discovered a crack in her port rudder. This is her message this morning,
Beautiful day, sunshine, and blue sky... and now no wind at all. Well, 2 to 3 knots 30 metres above the deck.
Full boat check and maintenance done, ready for whatever is coming next. And it's on its way.
