Mini 650 - Les Sables-Les Acores - Leg 2 - Horta POR - Day 1

In the Azores, the start of the second leg back to Les Sables d'Olonne took place yesterday. Dull conditions made for a slow first night, with the two fleets sailing close together: ----- Arnaud Rambaud FRA leads the Protos all the way in the East by 4 miles over Anne-Gaël Gourdin FRA. ----- And also in the Series Minis, Julie Simon FRA leads in the very east. Her advantage over Bruno Lemunier FRA is 0.7 miles. Markus Burkhard SUI follows in 18th place, 2.7 miles behind. Felix Oberle SUI, who is one of the candidates for the overall win after his 4th place in the first leg, is 3 miles back in 25th place this morning. ----- The race-tracker and the reports.
