  • The See Saw Battle Continues

    The See Saw Battle Continues

    The tension mounts as racing remains painfully close
    Nobody can break free on final push towards a Sunday finish




    Tension, exhaustion, and extreme emotional swings through elation and despair.

    That's likely to be the mood on board Team Holcim-PRB and Team Malizia all the way to the finish now.

    Despite racing hard for over 33 days and over 14,000 miles sailed over ground, neither Boris Herrmann's Malizia, nor Kevin Escoffier's Holcim-PRB

    Cape Horn In Rear View, Challenges Ahead



    https://www.theoceanrace.com/en/racing/tracker


    After passing Cape Horn and escaping the south, the big weather challenges haven't quite ended for The Ocean Race sailors yet.

    The leading pair - Team Malizia and Team Holcim-PRB - found themselves in what Malizia's Will Harris called some of the most challenging weather of the leg when they turned north. Gale force winds and sharp, confused seas....

    The Southern Ocean Bares Her Teeth





    After 48 hours of building wind and seas, with gusts over 40 knots and waves approaching 7 metres, conditions are starting to moderate on Sunday with the IMOCA fleet turning south to squeeze between Cape Horn and the ice exclusion zone.






    The wind is in the 18-22 knot range and the waves are 5 metres and decreasing. That's still plenty of motion on an IMOCA, making movement on board difficult, but slightly better than over

    Lining up for the Horn

    Cape Horn is just over 1000 miles away, but they will be hard-earned miles...
    The teams have the end of the hardest part of the longest leg in the history of The Ocean Race in sight.






    On Friday afternoon UTC, the most iconic of landmarks to offshore sailors - Cape Horn - lies just over 1000 miles to the east.

    But those miles won't come easily. Gale force winds and 6-8 metre seas are on the menu

    Reunited Fleet Now In A Tight Race




    On Saturday it seemed as if the race couldn't get any closer. By Sunday morning UTC that was proved wrong.

    Today, all four teams are lined up on a 13 mile line extending north to south, but separated by less than 3 miles on the leaderboard. All this after three full weeks of racing.









    The reason for the close racing remains a stubbornly persistent ridge of high pressure and its light winds that is
