After 7 days of racing, the first strong wind zone from the west has hit the fleet, which is now sailing in the ‘Howling Fifties’. The teams are racing eastwards, remaining as southern as possible just along the ice border on the 52nd southern latitude. With 8 jibes within 24 hours, 'Brunel' with Bouwe Bekking NED has taken the lead, ahead of 'Mapfre' (Javi Fernandez ESP) who is just 2 miles back. The fleet is still quite close together with the exception of 'Scallywag' (David Witt AUS), who is almost 150 miles back. There are still three days to go until the competitors will reach Cape Horn. The Race Tracker, the reports and the Video of the day.
