IMOCA Open 60 - Transat New-York-Vendée - New York USA - Day 2

A thick fog and flotsam marked the second day of the Trans-Atlantic Race from New York to Les Sables d'Olonne. Five teams had to return to repair damaged hulls and/or centerboards after collisions with floating objects, among others the initial leader Yann Eliès FRA, but also Armel Le Cléac'h FRA and Morgan Lagravière FRA are on the way back to Newport. Vincent Riou FRA ('PRB') is now the new leader with a 3 miles' advantage on Sébastien Josse FRA ('Edmond de Rothschild') and Alex Thompson GBR ('Hugo Boss'). The race viewer and the report.
