Ultime - Transat Jacques Vabre - Day 2

As expected, the five Ultime trimarans made rapid progress (630 miles in 24h) and will pass Gibraltar this morning. This means they are already out of range of the storm front in the north. ----- François Gabart/Tom Laperche FRA (SRV Lartigues) have pulled away 66 miles from 'Edmond de Rothschild' (Charles Caudrelier/Erwan Israel FRA) with a slightly more westerly course. ----- The race-tracker and the reports.
