Position at Saturday 14:40 hrs UK:
After 39 days and 18 hours they are heading to the finish across a weakening Storm Ingrid at Ouessan, France sailing at 30 knots with 427 nm to go to the finish.
Eadrlier 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.
