IDEC SPORT will\u00a0be rounding Cape Horn in a few days from now, so it might seem odd that they are heading so far south. Aboard the red and grey maxi-trimaran, all lights are green for the crew, which is continuing to extend its lead over the round the world record with an advance of 1270 miles this morning. <\/strong><\/p>\n

During the night, Francis Joyon and his crew of five carried out a gybe. On the starboard tack, heading SE to pick up some wind allowing them to sail downwind all the way to the exit from the Southern Ocean, there are more gybes ahead.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll be staying down at 59\u00b0 S for some time. We\u2019ll be going even further down depending on how the wind shifts. We\u2019re now aiming for a strip of stronger winds to take us downwind to Cape Horn.We can hope for some wind, but we\u2019re going to have to change tack a lot,\u201d <\/em>Francis Joyon said yesterday afternoon with<\/em> IDEC SPORT continuing on her way in cold but manageable conditions below an area of high pressure.<\/p>\n

So it is not surprising to see them dive into the 60s this morning with agood lead over Banque Populaire V, her virtual rival in the Jules Verne Trophy. In a few hours from now, once they have picked up the SW\u2019ly air stream, they can get a bit further north and sail on a zig-zag course to the Horn at 55\u00b058\u2032 S and 1500 miles ahead of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
