Big Gains Behind
Today, as the breeze builds to 18 knots from behind, it is the Aussie battlers onboard ING Real Estate (Grant Wharington) who are closing on the fleet with the new pressure. ABN AMRO ONE (Mike Sanderson) has managed to hold off Pirates of the Caribbean (Paul Cayard), but the second Dutch boat, ABN AMRO TWO (Sebastien Josse) is closing on Pirates of the Caribbean who are now just three miles ahead. Movistar is still sailing significantly slower than the other boats, while ING Real Estate Brunel is managing to average 22.3 knots and a 24 hour speed average over two knots faster than the rest of the fleet.
