Thru the straits of Dover

The MOD70 Trimarans progressing good over the North Sea. 
Spindrift Racing leading the MOD70 fleet at Dover
The early gains in between the Danish islands is still more of less paying off. The leading trio, Spindrift, Foncia and Edmond de Rothschild have kept their small advanctage with only some 15 Nm between them at Dover. 
Race for Water and Musandam Oman Sail are following at some 25 Nm and no doubt they will make a battle amongst themselves in order not to finish last. 

Liveskipper, virtual boats are a little behind; apparently their Polars are a little less. The 1370+ boats however are in a fierce battle and this afternoon expected to round Lands End. The sailing in the Irish sea is expected to be somewhat slower, as for the real boats, but ETA is also before midnight Wednesday. 

It is still not too late to register at Liveskipper for the virtual sailing races; it is all free. OK, you will not  beat the  Podium in the 1st leg anymore, but  have all equal chances in the following 4 legs. You can start already in Leg2, while still sailing in Leg 1, it is all possible in the virtual sailing world; but missing a leg will not qualify you for classification in the Overall.
