Credit’s overnight arrival, in Recife, to take the leg win, proves a release for Antoine.....

Jonas & Corentin cross the Recife finish line. A frustrating fifteen(ish) hours behind Credit. Slowed, in the final stages, by a fading breeze.....
......After an heroic fight back. Overcoming an exploded mainsail track and lost halyard prior to the Horn. Closing a 600nm deficit during the stormy ascent of the South Atlantic. Cracking Curium's stringers in the process (post #88). Repairing underway. Only to snag a longline whilst cutting inshore at night.
Insight here, into the source of Credit's (a David Raison Max 2 scow) apparent structural superiority, over Curium (a Lombard Lift 2 scow), during the pounding upwind conditions.
In the sharp fleet, Free Dom continues to lead the way. Thibaut & Maxime exuberant as ever
Whiskey Jack's Melodie & Paul vie with Wilson's Lisa & Jade. Who, I'm assuming, must have put Jade's boatbuilder/rigger background to use and reattached their 2:1 J2 halyard to the mast (see post #86 ). Word from Melodie:
Richard & Rupert's Jangada is meanwhile locked in combat with Jose & Luis' Barco. A 65nm spread across the fleet.
