WEEK 1. After seven days of racing, the 32 solo skippers still at sea are spread out in at least four groups. While Britiish sailor, Alex Thomson and Breton, Jean Le Cam are leading the fleet this weekend, like their rivals, they have had to deal with three low-pressure systems since leaving the Bay of Biscay, including one tropical storm. The race has got off to a slow start, but the route ahead looks very favourable.
