With the top three boats within 84 miles of each other and Yannick Bestaven now just 13 miles behind second placed Thomas Ruyant, and 120 miles back from them Damien Seguin, Louis Burton, Jean Le Cam and Benjamin Dutreux are scrapping over fourth place. With less than 500 miles to Cape Leeuwin the fleet is as compact as to be almost a re-start with 40 per cent of the course sailed.
