 IMOCA Open 60 - Barcelona World Race - Day 46
They profitted from a light wind zone yesterday to fully check the 'Cheminées Poujoulat' and effect repairs if necessary. Bernard Stamm SUI spent several hours on top of the mast to fix the wind measurement system. Right now, the excitement in the race is for the ranks 2 and 3, as 'Neutrogena' (Altadill ESP/Munoz ESP) going South has lost even more miles and is now only 51 miles in front of Anna Corbella/Gerard Marin ESP sailing 4 kn faster.
