    Blasting Towards The Horn

    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

    Fast Times In The Southern Ocean

    Record breaking day for IMOCA fleet in the deep south
    As the fleet races towards the scoring gate, records are being broken...

    Holcim-PRB's Lead Dissolving At Rapid Pace



    There has been more of the same in The Ocean Race on Friday - but in a good way. All four teams are clicking down the miles, racing to the east in fast reaching conditions.

    The wind is up, the water is still (relatively) flat, and the miles keep sliding away under the keel.

    The fleet continues to compress slightly, closing the race up with the leg 3 scoring gate fast approaching. The ETA is now Monday morning UTC.
