IMOCA Open 60 - Vendée Globe 2016/17 - Day 74 - Armel Le Cléac'h FRA will finish first this afternoon !

147 nm were left for Armel Le Cléac'h FRA early this morning to the finish in Les Sables d'Olonne. With an 87 nm advantage on Alex Thomson GBR, Le Cléac'h with his 'Banque Populaire' is on a safe way to finish the Vendée Globe 2016/17 as first, and only a major equipment failure could stop him from winning. He will arrive in Les Sables this afternoon in the new record time of 75 days and a few hours. Alex Thomson GBR will arrive roughly 8 hours later. Yann Eliès FRA on rank 4 has been joined by the closely sailing duo Jean Le Cam FRA and Jean-Pierre Dick FRA.
