IMOCA Open 60 - Vendée Globe 2016/17 - Day 8

After 8 days underway, the leading boats are already approaching the innertropical convergence zone and the Equator. Alex Thompson GBR ('Hugo Boss') in front of the fleet has therefore lost speed and the 30 miles' advantage on the chasing duo Sébastien Josse FRA ('Edmond de Rothschild') and Vincent Riou FRA ('PRB') will shrink during the day.
