After the fleet encountered a slow descent of the north Atlantic, Charlie Dalin, (MACIF Santé Prévoyance), now has the 10th edition of the Vondée Globe back close to record pace, after his electrifying passage across the Indian Ocean, spurred on by his passage riding a malicious monster low pressure system.

This Saturday evening the well established race leader Dalin, has just less than 800 nautical miles to the second of the solo round the world race’s second Great Cape, and needs to cross that longitude by 08 14 hours UTC on the morning of Monday 9th December, to break the 2016 record mark set by Armel Le Clérck, who went on to set the 74 days 3 hours 35 minute course record. That requires an average of just around 19 knots which is possible but by no means certain given the number of gybes he may need to complete. Nonetheless from being well behind the eight year old schedule this race will be ahead or much closer.
