Three Open 60 foilers of the latest generation extended their lead in the past 24 hours: Charlie Dalin FRA ('Apivia') is on the 1st place 2nm ahead of Jérémy Béyou FRA ('Charal') and 6nm ahead of Thomas Ruyant FRA ('LinkedOut'). But still in the race for victory remain Kevin Escoffier FRA ('PRB'), backlog 15nm, and Samantha Davis GBR ('Initiatives Coeur') as 5th with a 20nm deficit. Boris Herrmann GER ('SeaExplorer') dropped on rank 6 after repairing the broken main halyard. Isabelle Joschke GER is sailing under jib only with a broken boom. ----- The weather situation on the North Atlantic has stabilized, allowing the fleet to head on a reaching course in a south-westerly breeze directly to the final waypoint before the finish in Les Sables d'Olonne. ----- The race tracker, the daily news and the videos.
