RACE UPDATE
The leaders are expected to pass the waypoint at La Palma in the middle of the night between Saturday and Sunday.
Until late morning, the fleet was split into two groups; the sailors executed a series of gybes to reposition themselves, but all have now regrouped before beginning a long port tack towards the Azores.
The favored option for passing the La Palma waypoint seems to be following the direct route, taking advantage of stronger winds near the island.
As of the 4:00 PM ranking, DEMAIN (Martin Le Pape and Mathilde Géron), Winds of the Ocean (Alexis Thomas and Pauline Courtois), and Décrochons la lune (Romain Bouillard et Irina Gracheva) occupied the top three spots.
The top ten boats are separated by only 15 nautical miles.
