Sodebo 3 of Skipper Thomas Coville and his crew are on pace to break the circumnavigation record set by Francis Joyon on IDEC Sport in 2017 of 40 days 23 h 30 m 30 sec.
Position at Saturday 23:30 hrs UK:
After 40 days and 3 hours Sodebo are heading to the finish at Ouessan, France, across a weakening Storm Ingrid, sailing at 27+ knots with 193 nm to the finish.
Earlier Sodebo reported damage to their starboard rudder sleeve but it has not so far caused a control problem.
Saturday they are targeting a speed of 30-32 knots as the sea state improves.
