Home Run For illbruck

Illbruck extended the lead by another five miles to almost 30 miles over Tyco and Assa Abloy

As the wind oscillated in regular patterns, from 120 degrees with 15 knots to 140 with up to 24 knots, illbruck gybed several times and took advantage of the straighter course to the finish. Tyco and ASSA ABLOY are in close encounter again since Tyco caught up after passing Barbuda yesterday morning. But with more then 900 miles to go, the battle for second place is still very open.

Amer Sports One is defending fifth place to News Corp through covering every move the competitor does. SEB sails 50 miles almost due north of the pair. Amer Sports Too has regained two miles on djuice who are only five miles from snatching seventh place away from Lisa McDonald and her crew.
