Yannick Bestaven (Maître CoQ IV) shows again today why he is the leader of the Vendée Globe as he has positions himself well to take the best advantage of a long awaited low pressure system which will finally break up the southern Pacific Ocean stalemate. Slow, tactical sailing has largely prevailed for nearly 1500 nautical miles and some five days of racing.
Guest of the day : Thomas Cardrin, technical director of the team OMIA - Water Family
Since repairing in the shelter of Macquarie Island, Louis Burton has reconnected with the main pack of ‘hunters’. And his repairs means that Bureau Vallée 2 is pretty much at full potential.
At less than one day from Point Nemo, the most isolated point on earth, Yannick Bestaven still has company in the shape of Charlie Dalin who is less than 50 miles behind. But as Thomas Ruyant finally profits from his more northerly position of recent days and returns to third, the leading pair have their buffer of nearly 270 miles.
