Mid afternoon today Cian McCarthy was next to cross the finish line of the second leg of the Mini Transat in 24th place

At 1500 today Mini Transat sailors were continuing to flow across the finish line at Salvador de Bahia in light winds and steamy sun. Irishman, Cian McCarthy should be next to finish – in 24th place – with Pia L’Obry, the young Swedish girl just nine miles behind. Ian Munslow one of the two British sailors, took a creditable 19th on this leg, while fellow British sailor James Bird is now 45th with 216 miles to go.
