TOP TRIO SURF TOWARDS THE PACIFIC
KEY POINTS:
Nine cross Leeuwin within 24 hours of Dalin
Race midpoint beckons
The three leaders of the Vendée Globe, Charlie Dalin, Thomas Ruyant and Yannick Bestaven now have the potential to open up a meaningful distance on the group which has been chasing them hard as the top trio benefit from fast sailing conditions on the back of a low pressure system.
Over the last 24 hours the distance between the hard driving third placed Bestaven and Damien Seguin in fourth has increased by more than 60 nautical miles whilst leader Charlie Dalin can certainly contemplate reaching the midpoint of the race in the next few days with a margin of more than 300 miles in hand over Seguin and Jean Le Cam.
