There has been a nominal lead change at the head of the Vendée Globe 2024 Race fleet as the three front runners clear the Cape of Good Hope and get into the Southern Ocean. However the Predictwind weather routing is also calling a near dead-heat.
Sébastien Simon (FRA) on Groupe Dubreuil is shown on the official tracker as holding a lead of .66nm over former race leader, Charlie Dalin (FRA) onboard MACIF Santé Prévoyance, with Yoann Richomme (FRA) Paprec Arkea showing as being 5nm astern of Simon on the official Race Tracker, which calculates the distance left by each boat to sail to the finish in Les Sables d'Olonne
There have been some changes in the predicted outcomes for the lead boats, which will require careful positioning for the next section of the 24,400nm non-stop singlehanded race around the world. The now 39 boat fleet of IMOCA60s has been sailing for 19 days.
