Barcelona World Race: Doldrums Affect


The leader board remains unchanged Paprec Vibrac leads followed by PRB and Veolia. What will change is speeds as shown by the leaders pace of 6.6 knots. The boats have lessened the separation as they prepare to cross the Doldrums all are now between 27 and 28 degrees longitude. The Doldrums crossing is expected to by an easy one with 15 knots of wind expected on the other side.

Paprec Virbac is having this experience in the Doldrums, "Here we are this morning, back to the doldrums before the sunrise...It's just grey and raining all around us, with weird wind etc..."
