IMOCA Open 60 - New York-Vendée - Day 2

Yesterday, the fleet reached a flatter transition zone with the leaders moving closer together. Next up are southerly winds of up to 30 knots, and it remains to be seen who will be the first to accelerate from the now widely spread out fleet. ----- Charlie Dalin FRA ('Macif') is ahead with a 1.6-mile lead over Nicolas Lunven FRA ('Holcim-PRB'). Jérémy Beyou FRA ('Charal') is 9 miles behind in 3rd place. Boris Herrmann GER ('Malizia') is 11 miles back in 4th place. Justine Mettraux SUI has moved to 8th place, 38 miles behind. Positioned slightly south of the leading group, she has a good chance of reaching the fresh southerly winds first today. Oliver Heer SUI follows as the first non-foiler in 15th place, 117 miles behind. ----- The race tracker and the reports.
