In the 7 a.m. rankings this Friday morning, Charlie Darlin (Macif Santé Prévoyance) took the lead in the race ahead of Thomas Ruyant (Vulnerable), second at 3 nautical miles, and Sam Goodchild (Vulnerable), third at 6 miles.
The fight is here. Charlie Dalin (Macif Santé Prévoyance) regained the lead of the 10th Vendée Globe in the rankings at 7:00 a.m. Friday (GMT+1), but he remained in a tight spot with Thomas Ruyant (Vulnerable), second at 3 nautical miles, and Sam Goodchild (Vulnerable), third at 6 miles.
The head of the fleet continued its descent due south off the coast of Brazil in the early morning, hoping to recover at Cape Frio (east of Rio de Janeiro), a depression which could propel the boats towards the Cape of Good Hope.
Since Ruyant crossed the equator in the lead the day before in the early evening, there are now 14 of them sailing in the southern hemisphere.
