Figaro 3 - La Solitaire du Figaro - Leg 3 - Day 3 - Nils Palmieri SUI

On the way North to the rounding marks, the islands of Lundy and Saint Gowan off the coast of Wales, the fleet moved closer together yesterday: A new start for the race at the halfway point ! ----- After several changes in the lead, Corentin Horeau FRA was in the first position this morning UTC. The first chasers Pierre Quiroga FRA (0.4 miles behind) and Alexis Loison FRA (0.7 miles) continue to sail within sight on the long upwind leg towards the South. Nils Palmieri SUI also benefited from the merge, and his backlog was temporarily as low as 2.5 miles. This morning UTC, he was only 4.5 miles behind in 20th place. There are still about 160 miles to go until the finish in Brittany. The first ones should reach the Baix de Morlaix tomorrow early in the morning. ----- The race-tracker and the reports.
