IMOCA Open 60 - Vendée Globe 2016/17 - Day 63

The leading duo has been and still is battling with difficult variable conditions in the doldrums, but today, Armel Le Cléac'h FRA will probably reach the northern trade winds, however light for the moment. The weather forecast for the remaining miles back to France is atypical and major changes are not excluded. Alex Thomson GBR is only 148 nm back. The bulk of the Vendée fleet sailing on the South Pacific is benefitting from stable moderate winds.
