The brakes go on south of Tasmania
As the leading double-handed Class40s in the Global Ocean Race (GOR) prepare to enter the Tasman Sea with 1,200 miles of Leg 2 reindexing, the light conditions are conspiring to shake up the ranking table for the reindexing miles to the finish line in Wellington, New Zealand.
After leading the fleet for 13 days and over 3,000 miles and having logged phenomenal speeds and broken the GOR’s 24-hour distance record, Conrad Colman and Sam Goodchild on the Akilaria RC2 Cessna Citation have hit the buffers 350 miles below Tasmania at 49S with Ross and Campbell Field, further north in second place with BSL, slowing down, but holding the breeze and closing in.

In third place, the Franco-British duo of Halvard Mabire and Miranda Merron are polling the highest speed averages with Campagne de France as they drop south taking miles out of the leaders.
Recovering from 60-knot blasts, Marco Nannini and Hugo Ramon in fourth on Financial Crisis have cleared the eastern end of the Australian Ice Limit and are drying out in good conditions as they prepare to slip below 45S and in fifth place, Nick Leggatt and Phillippa Hutton-Squire are 40 miles north of the ice limit in stunning, running conditions with Phesheya-Racing.
