There was a lead change in the IMOCAs this morning but as the Ultimes power south to Cape Verde, many of the Class 40 are stuck again without wind.
Sodebo Ultim 3 returned to racing after a 5 and half hour stop in Madeira over-night to repair their starboard foil damaged in a collision on Thursday.
Team technicians who rushed to the island to help fix the boat have conceded that the foil remains damaged and the boat cannot be sailed “at 100% capacity.”
As the fleet, led by the Maxi Edmond de Rothschild, continues south towards Cape Verde they’ll be planning for the next obstacle, the Doldrums
While Class40 Project Rescue Ocean is heading to Cascais for a technical stopover.
Since Thursday morning the boat has suffered from a cracked ball-joint and damaged upper fitting of the starboard rudder. They are planning an express repair in Cascais and a return to the race as soon as possible
