Tuesday 22.5.2001: Upwind beat!

 

The competitors of the Mini-Pavois will spend the night tacking near the south coast of England. It is becoming very close and it appears that two options have been taken, a group of skippers having chosen to stay near the coast.

Because of the North-East wind, the first boats will reach Portsmouth only on Wednesday afternoon.
We do not know wich option Hervé chose, neither being very good. However, he remains in a good position being ranked 9th today.

The thought of a good rest before the start of the second leg (Portsmouth-St Quay Portrieux) this Friday is fading quickly. This is what Hervé and the others competitors must think as they fight off the waves and currents.
