Grands Records - The Wind, But Without 'The Sea Of The Wind'
24 March 17:10

That trend continued through the early hours of the new day and saw the 11-man French crew averaging 23.40 knots between 01:20 and 13:20 today.

Their task now is to make the most of a sea state which has improved as a result of the calms seen in recent days. They now have all the wind they need, but without the "sea of the wind", as ocean racers describe it... Such conditions never last very long, but while they do, Geronimo will be able to go flat out without putting too much strain on her structure and fittings.

The net result is that Geronimo is consolidating her lead over the 2002 record; a lead that now stands at just under 3 days.
