What To Expect From The Slowest Leg Of The Ocean Race
We can go fast. We went so fast that we broke the 24-hour distance record. This leg, however, is not the leg of speed: 3 IMOCA boats have been encountering very little wind for days, whilst overall ranking leader 11th Hour Racing Team had to return to dock for repairs just after the start of the race.
