Vendee Globe Day 40 Onboads Report With Leaders at Point Nemo and Rest of the Fleet in Gale Behind
After 40 days at sea, more than 800 miles separate the leading trio, Charlie Dalin, (MACIF Santé Prévoyance), Yoann Richomme, (PAPREC Arkea, and Sébastien Simon, (Groupe Dubreuil), from their pursuers. Nevertheless, this second group which extends from Thomas Ruyant, (VULNERABLE, 4th), to Justine Mettraux, (TeamWork-Team S n e f, 11th), is progressing in the same giant low pressure system as the leaders.
Vendée Globe weather consultant, Christian Dumard explains: “The first group are ahead of a small front which is part of this large depression system. The others are progressing around an anticyclone and are all starting to advance in this system. It is therefore the same weather system from Charlie Dalin to Justine Mettraux. Let’s hope it lasts!”
Today’s priority for the leading trio is to manage a wind rotation from north west to south west in a weather front that will force a gybe onto starboard tack. After a week of intense racing with his two rivals, in which he briefly lost the lead while carrying out a sail repair that took 36 hours, Dalin remains resolutely upbeat:
