The top solo racers on the Vondée Globe should reach an important transition tomorrow, Sunday, when they catch a low pressure system which will carry them at speed directly towards the tip of South Africa and the Southern Ocean beyond. The liaison with the low has been forecast for several days now. The secondary depression that is forming between Brazil and the small archipelago of Trindade and Martin Vaz.

But it still remains unclear as to how many skippers will be there to connect and catch a ride. For sure at this point of the race it seems very likely that the record sised 39 boat fleet will be split in two but where that cut off happens will only become clear tomorrow.

The challenge at the moment is to be as fast as possible, to then make the most of the depression that is coming from Brazil, and especially for as long as possible. Those who get there later will have more difficulty exploiting it to the full. That is why we must not hang around," summed up Nico Lunven, (Holcim – PRB). Lunven, like leader Charlie Dalin (MACIF Santé Prévoyance, and all those around him has been at full gas, making speeds of over 20 knots in ideal conditions. The trade winds are around 15 knots, and lifting them increasingly as they get down the Brazilian coast, allowing them to sail more and more directly towards South Africa.
