Royal Thames yacht Matelot leading The ARC
Bruce Dingwell's new Southern Wind 80 Matelot is currently leading The ARC. Matelot skippered by RTYC member Angus Fuller.
Latest update from Matelot at 14:00 06/12/07:
Current distance to run at 1330 UTC Thursday is 220nm. Sailing with full main, staysail and poled out headsail at upto 13/ 14knots boat speed. Glorious sailing with clear skies in 18 - 21 knots of wind from the east.
All looking forward to arrival tomorrow and some St Lucian hospitality!
Trevor Silver's Roulette is currently sitting in 6th place and going strongly.
Both boats are currently enjoying favorable conditions and we wish them well for the rest of the trip.
