IMOCA Open 60 - Vendée Globe 2016/17 - Day 98

The 10 solo skippers still in the race are struggling with rough conditions on the North Atlantic. Eric Bellion FRA, expected to finish the Vendée as 9th on the coming Monday, had to lower the main sail as the top was detatched from the rail. A repair has been impossible for the moment, due to the heavy storm on the Bay of Biscay. Conrad Coleman NZL too has to wait for less wind and waves to construct a jury rig with his broken mast.
