At 22 UTC (23 Italian time), 12 hours has passed since the start from Lanzarote, and the three MOD 70s are in the lead of the fleet of yachts that entered the 8th edition of the RORC Transatlantic Race.
After more than 300 miles, PowerPlay, Argo and Maserati Multi 70 are heading north-west with growing wind, almost aligned with around 5 miles between each other.
The fourth competing trimaran, the maxi Ultim Emotion 2, is left behind because of a damage aboard: the crew sought shelter west of Lanzarote, so they were able to climb at the top of the mast and solve the problem, before setting sail again towards north-west.
