IMOCA Open 60 - The Ocean Race - Leg 3 - Day 30 - Cape Horn !

After 29 days of racing, 'Malizia' with Boris Herrmann GER rounded Cape Horn first yesterday, with 'Holcim-PRB' (Kevin Escoffier FRA) staying close only 20 miles behind. After moderate winds on the rounding, the two teams have again been caught in a 40kn+ low-pressure vortex off the coast of Argentina. The other two teams got into a calm zone on the approach to Cape Horn and lost massively: 'Biotherm' (Paul Meilhat FRA) is now 365 miles behind, '11th Hour Racing' (Charlie Enright USA/Justine Mettraux SUI) is 384 miles back. There are still 1'700 miles to go until the finish in Itajai BRA. ----- The race tracker and the reports.
