Class 40 - Normandie Channel Race - Caen FRA - Day 4

After light winds dominated the first 3 days of the race and the fleet only made slow progress to Fastenet Rock, fresh north-easterly winds of around 25 knots have now set in on the way back to France, which will carry the fleet all the way to the finish. The leaders Fabien Delahaye/Benjamin Schwartz FRA still have 195 miles to go this morning and are expected to finish tomorrow night. The leaders are still close together, with ranks 1-12 only 12 miles apart. The race tracker and the reports.
