The ORMA are now level with the Canaries, heading for the trade winds and the leaders of the IMOCA approaching Madeira. Foto: J.Vapillon The boats off Cape St. Vincent and beneath will benefit from more pressure in upcoming days than the boats located between Cape Finisterre and Cape St. Vincent, which have been battling light winds since the Spanish Cape. The mood was quite down onboard some of the boats at the rear, but they were using the time to rest, make necessary repairs and dry off. The crews were also scrutinizing the weather data and changing sails to try to move the boats and make the smallest possible gain. The aim is to grab miles in the south without being caught in the winds shifting southeast, as they would push the competitors too far west. At the one-third marker, the race is still up in the air. But the boats beneath Cape St. Vincent will increas the mile difference. Copyright © 1996-2016 - SEGEL.DE
