Crossing the Horn the wrong way
At 05:20 UTC (06:20 French time), Guirec Soudée rounded Cape Horn from the west, leaving the Atlantic and entering the Pacific. He becomes the second solo sailor to round Cape Horn upside down aboard an Ultim, after Yves le Blevec. A rare feat, given the size of the boat, its speed and the exposure of this type of multihull to the conditions of the Deep South.
A reference time between Ushant and the Horn
Between Ushant and Cape Horn, Guirec Soudée set a time of 21 days, 18 hours and 44 minutes. Although Cape Horn traditionally marks the exit or entry to the Southern Ocean, it is only one stage in this attempt to circumnavigate the globe in reverse. The Pacific, then the Indian Ocean, remain to be covered, with often complex weather patterns.
MACSF Ultim faces the constraints of the Deep South
This is the second time Guirec has rounded the famous cape. This time, however, he passed well to the south of Cape Harding, depriving him of the traditional souvenir photo. Guirec is now 2117 miles ahead of the VDH record. The remainder of the race promises to be long and technical, with a boat to preserve and decisive route choices to be made.
