Yesterday, Alex Thomson GBR ('Hugo Boss'), the first participant abandoning the race after a collision, arrived in Cape Town. His first video interview. ----- Sébastien Simon FRA, heading for South Africa too after a collision with flotsam damaging foil and rudder blade, gave up yesterday as well after consulting his technicians. The damage cannot be repaired reliably on its own - The report. ----- It is still open whether Samantha Davis GBR ('Initiatives Coeur') can resume the race. She will try to start the repairs on the South African coast - Here her report. ----- As next, Stéphane Le Diraison FRA ('Time for Oceans') will probably have to turn off in the direction of Cape Town: The mainsail hook on top of the mast top is broken, and without a mainsail, he did lose a lot of mileage on Alan Roura SUI in the past 24 hours - The video. ----- Two days ago, Sébastien Destremeau FRA ('Merci') elegantly executed his repairs in the mast top: In moderate conditions, he was able to heel his Open 60 enough to reach the mast top on the 'footpath' through the mainsail - The report.
