The leaders have set a fast pace and already covered about 75 nautical miles out of the total 220 so a third of a the race.

After them come two more Maxi’s, Anne-Claire Le Berre’s 1005 and Basile Bourgnon’s 975 are bumper to bumper. For the proto’s, Emmanuel Renaud’s 753 is in 2nd position at 4 miles from the leader tailed by Nolwenn Pébelier on the 787.
