Jules Verne Trophy - The racing trimaran has been in the Pacific Ocean for just over 24 hours now, and is trying to get to the last cape of this crewed round-the-world record attempt as quickly as possible.
Passing close to the coast of the South Island of New Zealand, Dona Bertarelli, Yann Guichard and their 12 teammates are finally finished with the ridge of high pressure and are now in a depression with a westerly wind of 30 knots.
The speedometer should start to climb on board as the legendary swell of the South Seas should make its first appearance. A second depression, that is developing to the east of the first one, will be crucial in choosing the right route to take in the Pacific.
In terms of life on board, there is still a little over half of the road ahead for the 14 sailors, who after 22 days at sea are beginning to lose track of time as they have to juggle with all the time zones - as Dona Bertarelli said in her message from the boat.
Day 22 – 16h00 GMT
- 205.6 nm behind the current record holder
- Distance covered from the start: 14,416.3 nm
- Average speed over 24 hours: 25.5 knots
- Distance over 24 hours: 613 nm
