VOR65 - Ocean Race 2017/18 - Leg 6 - Day 10

As expected, the innertropical convergence zone decelerated the fleet, the leading 'AkzoNobel' stalled as first and was bypassed by part of the fleet. Sailing on the extreme East, 'Turn the Tide on Plastic' with Dee Caffari GBR was on first this morning one mile ahead of 'Brunel' with Bouwe Bekking NED. 'AkzoNobel' is down on 3rd with a 3,nm backlog. Position changes will be the name of the game in the coming 48hrs. The one who will touch the southern trade winds first will be in pole position for the finishing straight to Auckland.
