Day 3 of the Vendée Globe dawned, with much of the fleet having gone through their first bout of testing conditions around Cape Finister.
Though the margins are still small, it’s British ‘rookie’ sailor Sam Goodchild, competing in his first Vendée Globe on Vulnerable, that is currently leading the pack according to the race tracker.
After Sunday’s light winds start, the 40-boat fleet remained closely packed for a gentle Biscay crossing, with just 50 miles separating first and last Imocas after the first 24 hours of racing.
Charlie Dalin and Macif, tipped by many to be one of the race favourites, took the early lead. Macif was first to Finister, passing inside the T S S, (traffic separation zone) along the Galician coast.
