IRC - Middlesea Race - La Valetta MLT - Day 2, the Swiss

Half of the fleet rounded Stromboli this morning, the most norther mark of the race. Until yesterday evening, light winds dominated, but now a depression from the Northwest arrived with winds of up to 40 kn. The Super-Maxi 'Rambler' of George David USA is still leading but the second-ranked 'Leopard' of Pascal Oddo GBR reduced the backlog considerably. Among the best is still the Swiss 'Varuna' of Franco Niggeler SUI on the 5th place. In calculated time, the smaller yachts are on the first positions. The Swan 53 'Music' of James Blakemore GBR was first in the IRC-rankings at the waypoint Stromboli.
