RACE UPDATE
- The fleet is progressing north, northwest to port and is preparing to go around a windless area
- At 3 p.m., Wings of the Ocean (Alexis Thomas and Pauline Courtois, 1st), Cap St Barth (Cindy Brin and Thomas André, 2nd) and Skipper Macif (Charlotte Yven and Hugo Dhallenne, 3rd) lead the rankings.
- Quentin Vlamynck and Audrey Ogereau (Les Étoiles Filantes) have pulled off a great coup by slipping into the wake of the leading trio, who are now less than 30 nautical miles (55 km) behind.
- The windless bubble is shifting slightly to the west and is tending to shrink slightly. The fleet should reach it tomorrow morning or during the day.
- The skippers could aim for a northerly route or try to progress closer to the direct route.
