First boats expected around 1:30 am this night/morning....

Here are the positions of the lead boats as of 18:00 SBH Time. With the leading 3 boats separated by only single-digit minutes, any of the 3 could still be the winner. The projected finish time for the winner is now between 01:30 and 03:30 on Friday morning.

If the wind holds that final turn around Colombier they will be beating into the wind to the finish. Too bad it will be under cover of darkness as the drones of the island would cover some real strategy racing.

We have a winner!

Skipper MACIF crossed the finish line at 02:03:33, after sailing a total of 4,160.89nm at an average speed of 9.23 knots.

I went out to social media to see if I could find any photos of the finish - only thing I found was this one taken a few miles from the finish!
