Boris schafft es leider nicht, sich von dem Damentrio (Justine, Sam, Clarisse) abzusetzen. Gegenüber dem führenden Charlie Dalin hat er zwar ca. 100sm gutmachen können, weil Charlie weniger Wind hatte. Von einer Aufholjagd kann daher keine Rede sein. Stattdessen segelt Boris immer noch auf Damen-Niveau.

On Tuesday 3rd December, leaders Charlie Dalin on MACIF Santé Prévoyance and Sébastien Simon on Groupe Dubreuil have managed to make the best of the light winds ahead of tomorrow’s storm in the Vendée Globe, while Yoann Richomme on PAPREC-ARKEA fell into light winds as he heads north to position himself for the approaching low pressure system.
We take a look at the tracker and options for routing using PredictWind, to see what the options are for the fleet to make the best use of the wind, while also avoiding the strongest winds, which could top 50 knots at times and be combined with huge seas.
Sam Goodchild on Vulnerable gives us a quick update from the boat, where he is fascinated by the birds in the Deep South.
