IMOCA Open 60 - Vendée Globe 2024 - Les Sables d'Olonne FRA - Day 62

The leader Charlie Dalin FRA is already passing the Azores this morning, according to initial projections he should have covered the remaining 1150 miles to the finish on Tuesday. Yoann Richomme FRA in 2nd place is 155 miles behind, he lost his light wind genoa yesterday...and there is still a doldrums zone to cross. Sébastien Simon FRA is just as certain to finish in 3rd place, he is 825 miles behind, with a lead of more than 1,500 miles on 4th place he is certain to finish on the podium. The chasing group has stretched out a little: Sam Goodchild GBR remains in 4th place, with Jérémy Beyou FRA sailing within sight just a mile behind ! Boris Herrmann GER has dropped back to 9th place and is now 220 miles behind 4th place. Another 100 miles behind is Justine Mettraux FRA in 10th place. A flat zone awaits the next chasing group - 14th (Jean Le Cam FRA) to 26th (Kojiro Shiraishi JPN) are only 450 miles apart. Further on the advance Alan Roura SUI, who has moved up to 16th place. Oliver Heer SUI has again found himself in the doldrums on the approach to Cape Horn. The race tracker and the reports.
