Team News Corp, in eighth position, is currently regaining some of her lost miles and is just 38 miles behind the leading two boats, Tyco and djuice dragons. Assa Abloy’s Stu Wilson reported at 1500, ‘We are still sailing upwind in about two knots of wind right now, not going much faster through the water’.
