IMOCA Open 60 - Vendée Globe 2016/17 - Day 111

It was not to avoid ! Conrad Coleman NZL sailing under jury rig could not defend his 15th place and had to let pass Romain Attanasio FRA more than twice as fast. After 110 days underway, the French finished 4 hours before the herioc Colman. Now, only Pieter Heerema NED, ETA probably next Thurday, and Sébastien Destremau FRA are the only ones still racing. The Frenchman is sailing in the northern trade winds and will arrive in Les Sables around March 10.
The race tracker, the reports and the videos, a.o. showing the astonishing jury rig of Conrad Colman NZL assembled under difficult considersable wind and wave conditions.
