Class 40 - Défi Atlantique - Leg 1 - Day 8

The leading Aymeric Chappellier FRA and his team touched the expected fresh Eastwind as first, and his reduced advantage of 34nm will without doubt increase during the day. Catherine Pourre FRA and her team were the only ones keeping the pace of the leading boat. Kito De Pavant FRA/Alex Pella ESP on 3rd are already over 80nm behind. With only 430nm to go to the Acores, this seems to be a preliminary decision on the finish positions. ETA is tomorrow Monday during the day.
