Day 12. Maserati Multi70 is sailing downwind with good southeastern winds and at high speeds. In the last 12 hours, from 21:00 yesterday and 9:00 this morning (UTC), about one hundred of the lost miles crossing the high pressure bubble during the last 49 hours have been recovered.
A few hours before the start of the thirteenth day, the advantage of Maserati Multi70 on the record to beat is 340 nautical miles and is still increasing.
In the short term, the next strategic choices on the route towards South Africa concern the passage of the cold front associated with the depression expected in the next 48 hours, perhaps earlier.
Cape of Good Hope is 1700 miles to the West.
