In the midst of the longest race in the southern hemisphere of the Cape2Rio transatlantic Cape town to Rio de Janeiro. Distance of 3600 nautical miles.
Recall that the Cape2Rio fleet was initially divided into several groups, and the first of them took the start 4 Jan. Two Maxi-trimaran class Ultim – Multi 70 Maserati, led by the famous Italian skipper Giovanni Soldini and Love Water under the leadership of Craig Sutherland from South Africa – went only a week later, on January 11. And yet, these giants have already surpassed all the other participants Cape2Rio!
It is not surprising that match Maxi-trimaran attracts the main attention of those watching the race on both sides of the South Atlantic.
We will remind that in the beginning, a few hours after the start, Maserati Multi 70 was forced to slow down: there was a failure of one of the foil. The crew managed to repair, but this time, Love Water pulled ahead by almost a hundred miles. Now, four days later after the start, the situation is diametrically opposite: Love Water night bumped into an object, and the crew had quickly sodelyvaetsya in the housing.
Trimarans have been half the distance to Rio. Now (on Wednesday, at 12.00 Moscow time) ahead of the Maserati Multi 70, which remains to the finish line 1824 miles. Love Water behind the leader with 46 miles.
