Since leaving Alicante both classes have made stop/start progress due to patchy winds and large glassy areas of total flat calm littering the route to Genova. There's some benefits like Corum being serenaded by a trio of whales. The VO65 class has made the best collective progress so far, having made it past the Balearic Islands overnight, and into some welcome fresher northerly breeze filtering out across the Mediterranean from the French interior. © The Ocean Race 1973 SL
