| MACIF leading the VendeeGlobe2012 |
The Leaders have passed Cape Leeuwin (SW corner of Australia) last night in a new record time! The new record is:
34 days, 10 hours and 23 minutes! This is 2days, 2 hours and 25 minutes faster from Les Sables d'Olonne to Cape Leeuwin as the record from PRB , Vincent Riou set in VG2004.
Macif was 1e shortly followed by Banque Populaire; 1hour and 50 minutes later.
Both leaders are now in a different and better wind system as the followers, of which Virbac Paprec3 is the closest at 350 Nm.
As a surprise, Francois Gabart (MACIF) also broke the record between the two Capes, Cape of Good Hope and Cape Leeuwin, with 9 minutes, now set at 11days, 6 hours and 40 minutes.
The leaders in the virtual VR are somewhat ahead the real boats.
I sail already east of New Zealand in LiveSkipper Virtual sailing game. All sailors are sailing a Imoca60 boat, but LiveSkipper does not have so many Ice gates, allowing those Boats to sail more Southerly routes.
