At 10 UTC, Maserati Multi 70 is sailing at 14 knots off the Mauritania, at about 200 miles to the south of the Canary Islands. In the last 24 hours, the trimaran has followed a parallel route and very close to Western Sahara coastline “to find some wind and continue to sail correctly” as Alex Pella explains in his diary. Coastal navigation complicates everything because, Pella continues: “marine life is much richer than near the coast than offshore so the traffic is much more important, from large merchant ships to smaller vessels dedicated to cabotage through small fishing boats very numerous in this area, so we must be very careful”.
At the same ranking, just before the beginning of thirtieth day, Maserati Multi 70 is located at 1.894 nautical miles of the finish line with a 1.275 nm advantage on the record.
