 IRC, ORC, Open 60, VOR65, Class 40  Fastnet Race 2017  Cowes GBR  Day 2
This morning shortly after press deadline (6h UTC), the MOD70 trimaran 'Concise' of Tony Lawson GBR will cross the finish line of the 2017 Fastnet Race with a huge advance. However, to improve the record of Loïck Peyron FRA on the Maxi-Multihull 'Banque Populaire' (today 'Spindrift') of 1 day 8 hours, 10 hours are missing. The first monohull, the 88-foot 'Rambler' of George David USA, rounded the Fastnet Rock early this morning. The first IMOCA Open 60 'SMA' of Paul Meilhat FRA will reach the Fastnet Rock during the morning. The Class 40 leader is still Paul Sharp GBR.
A leader change however happened in the Volvo65 sailing closely together: 'Dongfeng' with Charles Caudrelier FRA replaced 'AkzoNobel' with Simeon Tienpont NED on the top position.
