Barcelona World Race: 2 Boat Race?

Leader PRB and 2nd place by 40 miles Paprec Virbac 2 have crossed into the Southern Hemisphere. Veolia is 3rd now 172 miles back. For the now the lead duo are a bit on their own. This pair is showing speeds of over 15 knots tops in the fleet.

From 2nd place J.P. Dick says, "The south Atlantic is my favourite ocean, I like the colour, the fauna, it’s wild and so much better than the doldrums."

4 more boats are within 300 miles followed by Estrella Damm and Educacion sin Fronteras. Estrella Damm has a fleet low speed of 5 knots.

Delta Dore figures
"Until Fernando de Noronha , there is no special strategy."
