IMOCA Open 60 - New York-Vendée - Day 6

The two breakaways Charlie Dalin FRA (Macif) and alone in the far north Boris Herrmann GER (Malizia) were both slowed down yesterday by high pressure zones. Meanwhile, the fleet, more than 300 miles back, has split into two groups: The first chasing group will pass the Azores to the south, a diversion with a little more wind. The second group will sail a little further north. Justine Mettraux SUI (Teamwork/Team SNEF) is in 8th place in the southern group, 380 miles behind. The race tracker and the reports.
