Volvo leaders leave others becalmed

....and djuice aims to avoid the trap

Illbruck, News Corp and Tyco are almost becalmed in the middle of the fleet and losing distance all the time to Amer Sports One and Assa Abloy, who are both sailing in wind of around 12 knots from the east.
To the south, djuice is maintaining reasonable speeds, attempting to avoid the centre of the ridge, which has trapped the other three V. O. 60s.

Amer Sports Too has now rejoined the race, having restarted at 0908 GMT.
