Despite the slow pace of the action, two teams have made breakaway moves that have split from their respective fleets as they pass the Balearics. In the IMOCA 60s the crew of Robert Stanjek’s non-foiling Offshore Team Germany (GER) made an early commitment to taking a northern route by tacking away immediately after rounding the final mark of the course off the Tabarca islet, close to Alicante. Likewise, in the VO65s, when it was clear that the bulk the fleet was positioned to pass south of Ibiza, the Dutch-flagged Team Childhood-I skippered by double America’s Cup-winner Simeon Tienpont (NED) chose to stay north of the rhumb line course in search of better winds. © The Ocean Race 1973 SL
