The three skippers are sailing in the Pacific, far ahead of the competition since the 4th, Thomas Ruyant, is sailing more than 800 miles, between Tasmania and New Zealand.
A change occurred in the Top 5: Nicolas Lunven (Holcim – PRB) overtook Jérémie Beyou (Charal), now 6th. But the two skippers remain neck and neck, with a gap of less than 2 miles.
Dismasting during the night from Sunday to Monday
Further back, the British Pip Hare was the victim of a dismasting late on Sunday, in the south of Australia.
The sailor, who was in 15th place at the time of the damage, “is not injured”, indicated the organization, adding that her team was working “closely with the race management to secure the boat”.
