Ouch - no kidding.

ON another note, Coville is about to get into some big breeze and will probably be able to make up a little ground on Cammas tonight he's already making more than 4 knots better.

I was just watching Eurosport where they had an interview with his teammate Samantha Davies, she confirmed that it lost a hull.

He has been safely rescued and is aboard a fishing ship. Delamination is a bitch!

I'm still cheering for Coville on Sodebo. I think he's going to get some heavy air that is going to allow him to take a much more southerly route over the next 18 hours and should put him right on Cammas' stern. This could get interesting at the front of the Ultimate class.

was it hit by a wave?

out there?

chance in a million

no cardboard, no cardboard derivatives

Sam looked very tired and not her usual chirpy self. Hope she is OK

Only One mile between place two and three, after almost 9 days of sailing and taking completely different routes that is pretty amazing...

Joyon is going to get 2nd. He's got a much better angle to the finish.

Really good coverage here
