IMOCA Open 60, Class 40, Multi 50, Ultime - The Transat - Plymouth GBR - Day 6

On day 6 of the Transat, the fleet is more and more stretched over a long distance. The fastest in the prevailing moderate conditions is François Gabart FRA with his ultra-light 'Macif' and his advantage in the Ultime Trimarans on the second-ranked Thomas Coville FRA ('Sodebo') is already 167 miles. There were 990 miles left to New York this morning. A leader change happened in the Multi-50, where the previous leader Lalou Roucayrol FRA is fighting with strong westerly winds on his northern route advancing only very slowly. The new leader is Gilles Lamiré FRA who has already an advantage of 110 miles. The duo Armel Le Cléac'h' FRA and Vincent Riou FRA are still closely together in the Open 60, gap between the two only 40 miles. Phil Sharp GBR holds the lead in the Class 40, but he has a 6-hours stop-and-go penalty to deliver. The duel for the lead is therefore between Thibault Vauchel FRA and Isabelle Joschke GER/FRA.
