IMOCA Open 60 - Transat New-York-Vendée - New York USA - Day 6

After rough 36 hours on the edge of a depression, the leading boats have reached more moderate winds. The leading Alex Thompson GBR with his 'Hugo Boss' gibed southwards and the followers could therefor reduce the backlog. Jérémy Béyou FRA ('Maître Coq') was 38 miles behind this morning and Sébastien Josse FRA ('Edmond de Rothschild') follows another 5 miles back. With 1'200 miles to go, the situation on top remains fully open, above all as a big lull resides along the French Coast, that will close the ranks. The race tracker and the daily news.
