Less than 9 miles separates the top three Vondée Globe competitors after 20 days of racing, while fourth-placed, Thomas Ruyant, (VULNERABLE), is only 20 miles adrift of the leading trio as the fleet heads south and west into the roaring 40s.
In the early hours of this morning the lead pack shuffled places. Charlie Dalin, (MACIF Santé Prévoyance), leader for the last 3,000 miles, is now second, just two miles behind Yoann Richomme, (PAPREC ARKÉA). Meanwhile Sébastien Simon, (Groupe Dubreuil), holds third place, only seven miles behind Dalin.
“It wasn't planned for me to take the lead again,” says Richomme. “I don't really know what happened. The wind must have been a bit twisted. I played my trajectory – there's nothing strategic about it, I'm just following my route and it put me in the lead. We had quite a bit of wind last night. We did a big sprint… super fast, with peaks of over 30 knots, which isn’t necessarily a thrill here.” He was one of a number of competitors throughout the fleet having to keep close track of nearby boats to avoid risk of collision. “I found myself side by side with Seb Simon who has an AIS that transmits less than a mile away. Suddenly, when I heard the alarm, I jumped out of my bunk” Richomme adds.
