BREST, FRANCE - RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL
RACE 2 STARTS TODAY
Today the Race 2 of Leg 1 got underway in Brest, France which will see the crews complete their first ocean crossing clocking up nearly 5,000 miles to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Henri Lloyd and skipper Eric Holden crossed the line first with GREAT Britain and followed by Derry~Londonderry~Doire closely behind on a close-hauled start.
Derry~Londonderry~Doire was first round the windward mark followed by Henri Lloyd and PSP Logistics and GREAT Britain opted to take a penalty 720 degree turn after touching the mark.
Legendary British yachtsman, Clipper Race Founder and Chairman, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston said: “The Doldrums is the area where Race 2 is likely to be decided. The teams will have to ensure they indextain concentration and keep the boat moving.
“Between the flat calms and the squalls, the lack of wind will be frustrating at times but how they perform at this stage of the race will be worth watching as it could make a big difference to the final positions.”
