IMOCA Open 60 - Vendée Globe 2016/17 - Day 37

The fleet was stretched even more yesterday and the leader Armel Le Cléac'h FRA extended his advantage on Alex Thompson GBR to 175 nm. Today, the second chasing trio on the ranks 5 to 7 (Eliès FRA, Dick FRA, Le Cam FRA) will hit the storm with wind speeds exceeding 50 kn. Only Jean Le Cam stays on course, while the other two try to avoid the full strength of the wind deviating northwards. Rich Wilson USA remained on rank 18.
