High Drama at Cape Horn for two more boats in the Volvo Race.
Early in leg 7 leader MAPFRE experiences a mast track failure and the crew had a shore team of three flown in to Ushuaia Argentina waiting for them to round the Cape so that they could fix the mast. BUT rounding the Cape and hardening up the force on the broken track causes the Mainsail to erupt. So the shore team fixed both problems and the yacht went back to the spot where they retired from racing and 18 hours later resumed racing.
Meanwhile Vestas 11th Hour Racing close to the Falklands was dismasted. Charlie Enright and the crew of Vestas who have had a incident filled race so far with an accident near Hong Kong and missing the Hong Kong-Auckland Leg now lose their mast in the next leg that they contest.
The current situation in Leg 7 is Scallywag and Vestas out and Mapfre a day behind the fleet now led by Brunel and Dongfeng hot on their stern and looking good to take the points lead.
