At 18 UTC, the three MOD 70s are sailing with weak winds, around 7/10 knots from north-northeast, at slow pace: PowerPlay is sailing on starboard tack at 13.7 knots, Argo and Maserati Multi 70, slightly more north, are sailing on port tack at 10.9 and 13.3 knots, respectively.
“The weather wasn’t in our favour today, but we never give up! The morale is high on board, also thanks to a delicious rice with lemon.”
Despite the weather conditions, the distances between the three trimarans keep on shrinking: PowerPlay, Argo and Maserati Multi 70 are around 20 miles from each other, a little more than 1000 miles from the finish line.
