As the 44 duos sail into their first night at sea on this 11th Transat Jacques Vabre the MOD70 duo remain in close contact although Sébastien Josse and Charles Caudrelier on Edmond de Rothschild have held the lead since the first and only passing mark and on the 1900hrs UTC were still holding a small speed advantage in the light to moderate conditions. During the summer’s Route des Princes race around Europe, Josse’s crew sometimes had an edge in moderate breezes.
