IMOCA Open 60, Class 40, Multi 50, Ultime - Transat Jacques Vabre - Le Havre FRA - Day 15, the Swiss

The first three Open 60 reached Bahia BRA yesterday, as we reported. The next to arrive will be Boris Herrmann GER/Thomas Ruyant FRA. For Herrmann, representing Germany together with Isabelle Joschke and Jörg Riechers in the so far French dominated offshore/oceanic racing scene, this is the first important competition on an IMOCA Open 60. Alan Roura SUI/Fréderic Denis FRA keep the 8th place, but the direct opponents are only 2nm behind.
In the Class 40, the leading trio with Phil Sharp GBR/Pablo Santurde ESP on first are only 8nm apart. Justine Mettraux SUI/Bertrand Delesne FRA on 4th are 60nm behind. In the southern trade winds, the boat speed exceeds 12kn now.
