They’re in! First leg is pretty much finished. It’s been an interesting leg. Lots of upwind, light and variable conditions, which is not traditional for this race. The top protos seemed to favour West of the rhumbline and the top series boats favoured the rhumbline mostly. It looks in the end like the skippers with the most stamina, strength and endurance prevailed in the constantly shifting and changing conditions. Can’t wait to see how leg two goes!
