Volvo Ocean Race 2001/2002 www.VolvoOceanRace.org zurück zur Übersicht Southampton, England, December 2, 2001 1600 GMT In The Middle Of Bass Strait Once again a drag race has started to establish with roughly 400 mile to go to the finish in Sydney. Illbruck’s data showed a constant boat speed of 12 knots in the 19 knot southeasterly. 17 miles clear astern sails SEB slightly slower in second position with a 26-mile margin on News Corp. As the weather forecast predicts reaching conditions up to Sydney, changes in positions between those three yachts are unlikely, unless one breaks sails or equipment. For position four to six, the race is completely open. ASSA ABLOY is still heading for the Australian coast 17 miles away and she will have to tack to get around the peninsula that obstructs the direct way to Sydney. When she gets south, she will come close to Amer Sports One and djuice who are in fast reaching conditions clear of the peninsula. Amer Sports Too is currently 400 miles away from King Island at the entrance of Bass Strait. Copyright © 1996-2016 - SEGEL.DE
