Yoann Richomme regains the lead of the race… Follow the position of the boats live

On the 42nd day of racing, the duel with Charlie Dalin continues as Cape Horn approaches.

Alone at the forefront since Friday, Yoann Richomme (Paprec Arkéa) and Charlie Dalin (Macif) continue their crossover at the head of the Vendée Globe. Second, less than 3 nautical miles from his competitor on Friday, Yoann Richomme, now leads the fleet, 37.87 miles (70 km) ahead of Charlie Dalin, Sunday December 22, at 7 a.m.

On his lame monohull after the loss of his right foil, which occurred on December 7 in the south of the Indian Ocean, Sébastien Simon (Groupe Dubreuil) is still third but losing ground. 191 nautical miles behind the leader 24 hours ago, he is now 346 miles behind skipper Paprec Arkéa.“It's frustrating to see the two friends having to leave but unfortunately it's a battle that I can't play. There I begin my long crossing towards Cape Horn, I can't wait to get there, to leave the cold and these fairly hostile seas”, responded Sablais to the race organizers on Sunday.

Behind him, the fourth, Thomas Ruyant, remains at a distance, 1123 nautical miles behind the leader of the race. The skipper of Vulnerable leads a group of seven boats up to Justine Miseaux currently 11th in 1554 nautical miles from the leader.
