Vendée Globe winners François Gabart and Michel Desjoyeaux are back in the lead of the Transat Jacques Vabre’s highly competitive IMOCA Open 60 class after leaders PRB, Vincent Riou and Jean Le Cam pit stopped into the Cape Verde islands this morning, repeating a rudder repair that their rivals undertook five days ago in Peniche, Portugal. In the Class 40 fleet GDF SUEZ have slightly increased their lead, as has FentetreA Cardinal in the Multi50s. And the two high speed MOD70’s have Recife, Brazil in front of them after crossing the Equator last night.
