"While Robin Knox-Johnston continues to be plagued by light winds, Kojiro Shiraishi on Spirit of Yukoh, currently leading the fleet in the Velux 5-Ocean Race, is clocking up average speeds of nearly 14kts - 400 miles to the east of Antigua. "

Currently leading the fleet, apart from the guy who is already tied-up in Norfolk, that is.

Pedant !

IMHO it is accurate. Leading is active wheras tied up is inactive so he cannot be leading the fleet if he is inactive, as he now merely has a passive role as a waypoint.

Yes - I find myself in agreement. The winner has been established but the leading boat of those still racing is the Kendo Nagasaki or whatever he is called

Ooh, is he wearing a balaclava then?
