Ocean Records - Route du Thé - Hongkong HKG-London GBR - Day 26

Finally blessed by the northern tradewinds, Francis Joyon FRA and his team accelerated again and the small backlog on the record when crossing the Equator was turned into a 266nm lead again this morning UTC. The remaining 2'600nm to London can be covered by the Maxi-Trimaran 'IDEC' within 5 to 6 days, a substantial improvement of the existing time. The race tracker and the news.
