It
was the 2nd day of the race for the competitors of the
Mini-Pavois. From the news taken on the website sail-online
Sunday afternoon, the Minis were sailing between la
Chaussee de Sein and Ouessant
.The
competitors will now cross the Channel against the wind
and have to reach Eddystone ligthouse in front of Plymouth.
Then, they will head east towards and leave the Isle
of Wight port side reaching Portsmouth, the final stage
of this leg. An aera that Hervé knows well because
he sailed here for the past two years.
Hervé
was yesterday ranked 22nd out of 29 at Belle-Ile. And
today he reached 10th place. Brilliant! We hope
that he will keep going like that. However, because
the wind are so ligth it meens that he cannot use his
autopilot a lot and therefore can't rest.
We also note that two boats have unfortunately abandonned,
the first one having hit a fishingboat and the second
one due to electrical problems (boat n°138 and 661)
The
race comitee could only give the exact position of the
first 12 boats of each category. Therefore, for the
British, I can only say that Paul Peggs in the proto
category is in 10th place.
