Hello there,

Another rollercoaster of 48hrs or so. We've lost the leading boats, found them again, had kitemares...all sorts of drama! It's been fun, however, and with a stiff breeze now the boat has been absolutely flying. An issue with the Code 3 has meant that our sail repair team has had to leap into action again as we are having to head up and lose ground to our nearest competitors. It's a shame, but these sails are almost as tired as we are at this stage. The crew, as always, have dealt with it all fantastically and have sailed their hearts out and worked their socks off to get back in the mix. We will keep pushing to stay up the sharp end of things, and with the weather still looking sketchy for the foreseeable future it's, as always with this leg it seems, anyone's game!

All the best from the crew, Mike and myself
