  4. still in front and slightly to leeward of Vestas I believe. Vestas basically following same track but still closing I suspect.

    Akzo to windward of the Vestas track DF rotating forward around them in better breeze.

  5. Scallywag getting nervous I reckon.

    I have their lead down to around 24nm with Vestas and DF in the groove and consistently sailing a few clicks deeper.

    200nm to the top of the Philippines and they will hit the lighter patch first with the decision to gybe or not.

  6. Updated - Peter Montgomery will be joined by Murray Jones, ETNZ coach in Bermuda and six time winner of the Cup.

     

    The evening will take the form of a conversation between the two legends.

    Join us for a rare chance to get some real insights to the past and upcoming Cup events.
