The fleet has stretched out with the first two boats breaking away from the other two and the distance is over 250 nautical miles. GUYOT Entertainment is approaching Itagai and is currently close to docking. Team Malizia, who were contemplating a return to Cape Town after mast damage in the first days of leg 3, and who approached Cape Horn today nursing an injured crew member, have overcome all these obstacles and more to lead The Ocean Race fleet past the iconic landmark. Boris Herrmann, skipper of Team Malizia, commented on this, his fifth passing of the landmark: “Cape Horn holds many memories for me, and crossing this line in first almost means more than winning the leg, not in terms of points but in terms of what it means. I am proud of the team and this boat! The boat has really proved itself in the Southern Ocean and shown how tough she is.”
