It's looking like the French team will beat the Brits and the Kiwi back to Plymouth Hoe with the eponymous Maxime Salle just minutes away (screen shot taken at 0807 this morning) from entering Plymouth harbour.......
the rest of the fleet are strung out to the west, Basecamp is not so far behind given the distance sailed from Sunday's start - with Mad Spaniel just off the Lizard having run many miles off to the southard to try and get as much following wind for a long reach home.
