Trophée Jules Verne - Day 28

The lull conditions with very light easterly winds during the past 24 hours massively delayed the two Maxi-Trimarans, and inspite of numerous tacks, both lost much mileage on the record. 'Spindrift' (Yann Guichard FRA/Dona Bertarelli SUI) had a 464 miles backlog this morning, 'IDEC' (Francis Joyon FRA) were 567 miles behind the record. The rounding of Cape Horn will probably be on Sunday, but the unusual calms ahead put much suspense on the teams.
