DFRT are currently laying the finish which is a COG of 200degrees for them. This will give them a TWA of 115degrees. Western boats still have one more gybe. #watchlog
We still don't know and anything can happen!! If @DongfengRacing manage to sail 1.5 kt faster than @desafioMAPFRE over the next hour they will be ahead! Check our last video out #watchlog
13:00 UTC Position Report. There is an extremely tight battle going on for the now Southern Fleet while @DongfengRacing up north is still slowly gaining on the rest. #Watchlog
Still a few gybes to go for the Western fleet. In the meantime, @DongfengRacing is suffering against the current and lighter winds than previous.
The current situation one hour from now, the current is building and pushing North. It will be very close between @DongfengRacing and the fleet in the west. #Watchlog
