IMOCA Open 60, Class 40 - Transat CIC - New York USA - Day 11 - Alan Roura SUI is 13.

Another 8 Open 60 skippers crossed the finish line in New York yesterday, including Alan Roura SUI (Hublot) in 13th place, who had to let Isabelle Joschke FRA (MASCF) pass just before the finish line and arrive 15 minutes after her. At the back of the fleet, Oliver Heer SUI continues to struggle with his electronics failure: The autopilot and onboard electronics only work when the sun is shining, and Oliver has to steer the boat manually at night. Accordingly, he is making slow progress and endeavoring to reach the finish before 21 May to qualify definitively for the Vendée Globe. ----- The match race at the head of the Class 40 is likely to continue until the finish. This morning, 200 miles from New York, Ambrogio Beccaria ITA leads Ian Lipinski POL by 18 miles. ----- The race tracker and the reports.
