Recent editions have proven that no lead on the Vendée Globe is a safe one. As Charlie Dalin (MACIF Santé Prévoyance) streaks further ahead driving hard on the heels of a major low pressure system, Yoann Richomme (PAPREC ARKÉA) and Thomas Ruyant (VULNERABLE) in third and fourth, both now more than 400 miles behind Dalin, are in full ‘damage limitation’ mode doing all they can to keep it ‘reasonable’ as Ruyant described it today.

Dalin’s efforts remain remarkable aboard his Verdier design. He will very soon have a lead equivalent to 24 hours of racing at current speeds ahead of these third and fourth placed skippers and at the weekend seems likely to set a new record for the passage across the Indian, which will no doubt please Dalin who lead in the Indian last race but who struggled to find high speeds in the confused seas which seemed to plague him back then.
