Leader by 2 miles PRB is sailing SE down Brazil with 2nd place Paprec Vibrac 2 slightly to the east also holding a course east of south. In match racing terms PV 2 is between PRB and the mark in the form of the Cape of Good Hope. PV2 shows a fleet high speed of 17.6 knots while Estrella Damm has the highest 24 hour run of 317 miles.
3rd is still Veolia with Delta Dore and Hugo Boss neck and neck for 4th. Dore's Sidney Gavignet sounds optimisic, "We still have over 20,000 miles to cover and at this point it is even possible to make up 1000 miles."
Looking at the times between the Canary Island and the Fernando de Noronha gate race leader PRB had the best time at 8 days 7 hours. Mutua Madrileña had the 3rd best run of 8 days 10 hours.
The leaders are looking to avoid a depression with heavy upwind possibilities and smoothly continue towards the roaring 40's.
