MOD70's Sailing Fast on the Atlantic

MOD70 Musandam Oman Sail
The fleet of 5 MOD70 Trimarans are making good progress in the Krys Ocean Race. Some boats have reach a 24 hrs distance of 711 Nm. The winds are strong around 20 kts and have the tendency to increase before after today to weaken. 

Spindrift racing is leading the pack with about 34Nm, with boatspeeds of 30+kts . Edmond de Rothschild is in 2nd and Foncia in a good 3rd place.
The maximum Boatspeed recorded is 40.7 kts !!!

Musandam Oman Sail, however suffered some damage on a foil and cannot sail at optimal speeds anymore. Like Race for Water they will have to sail to what is possible with little chance to take to the Podium.

To see the progress and location of the MOD70, see above TAB "progress map" , or visit the tracker on the Krys Ocean Race website.
The ranking of the virtual boats in Liveskipper can be  found in the TAB "Ranking" above. And if you want to try out the LiveSkipper virtual Sailing simulator you can register for free and start sailing.
