- The frontrunners are expected to reach Cape Finisterre Tuesday evening.
Martin Le Pape (Demain): “All is well aboard Demain. We had a wet night with 30 knots of wind, but nothing out of the ordinary. Speed-wise, we’re doing okay: we’re slightly to the east compared to the rest of the fleet, particularly Skipper Macif and Région Normandie.
We’ll see what happens in the next few days as we approach the calm near Cape Finisterre.”
Weather on Tuesday, On Tuesday morning, on the fringes of a low pressure system in the North Atlantic, the wind will shift to the southwest and blow between 7 and 10 knots on the northern edge of the ridge of high pressure that will be installed over Galicia.
With this southwest wind direction, they will sail close-hauled with a south-southwest heading. In the afternoon, the southwest wind will strengthen a little to reach 10-12 knots, shifting slightly to the right.
