Charlie Dalin traces his path. This Sunday morning, the 7:00 a.m. score shows that the Frenchman, on Macif Santé Prévoyance, remains firmly at the top of the general classification of the tenth edition of the Vendée Globe. Currently 3,335.92 nautical miles from the finish, the navigator has a lead of 121.14 milesmore or less similar to that of 7:00 a.m., this Saturday morning, on his first pursuer, namely his compatriot Yoann Richomme (Paprec Arkéa).
Simon has lost a lot of ground again
The two monohulls had to cross a zone of light wind, before being able to regain speed, taking advantage of stronger winds. The two men are currently approaching the equator, which they should cross this Sunday afternoon, while they are now moving away from Brazil. Compared to this Saturday morning, the Frenchman Sébastien Simon (Groupe Dubreuil), still third in the general classification, has once again lost a lot of ground on the leading duo. The fault in particular, in recent days, was his mast which he had to repair but also a problem with the engine generator.
