Yannick Bestaven (Maître Coq) is back in the lead of the Vendee Globe but only by a small handful of miles over Charlie Dalin (APIVIA).
In tenth place Benjamin Dutreux (OMIA-Water Family) has been having problems with a headsail and so has had do slow down and head north while he seeks to stabilize the situation.
After reporting a problem with his keel ram hydraulics earlier Saturday morning, Swiss skipper Alan Roura has managed to sort the issue.
Award for Jean Le Cam
French offshore sailor Jean Le Cam was awarded ‘Officer in the Order of Maritime Merit’ by the French Minister of the Sea, Annick Girardin, for his involvement in the rescue of a competitor in the Vendee Globe solo race around the world.
