Ultime - Transat Jacques Vabre - Day 5

The fleet was only briefly slowed down by the Doldrums yesterday, the trimarans have already accelerated back up to more than 25 knots in the southerly trade winds. Hardly anything has changed in terms of the order and spacing: Banque Populaire (Armel Le Cléac'h/Sébastien Josse FRA) lead with a 117-mile lead over SRV Lartigue (François Gabart/Tom Laperche FRA). Today the Atlantic islands of San Pedro & San Paulo will be circumnavigated, then the race continues south to the island of Ascencion. The race tracker and the reports.
