IMOCA Open 60 - Transat Jacques Vabre - Le Havre FRA - Day 5

The division of the fleet continued yesterday on the way to the Canary Islands, with more and more following the western route of Justine Mettraux SUI/Julien Villion FRA, who continue to lead the classification. Thomas Ruyant/Morgan Lagravière FRA are the best of the southern group, 231 miles behind in 8th place, but have now reached the trade winds. Only in 2-3 days it will become clear whether Justine Mettraux/Julien Villion will be able to make a fast connection to the trade winds. Alan Roura/Simon Koster SUI have dropped back to 23rd place, Oliver Heer/Nils Palmieri SUI have now definitely given up the race after breaking their forestay. ----- The race tracker and the reports.
