Trophée Jules Verne - Day 29

After two days with exceptional light winds, a westerly breeze filled in and both Maxi-Trimarans took up speed during the past 24 hours. Going full throttle, they reduced the backlog on the record by half. 'Spindrift' (Yann Guichard FRA, Dona Bertarelli SUI) are now 148 miles behind, the deficit of 'IDEC' (Francis Joyon FRA) was 270 miles this morning.
