YOU CAN’T PLACE IF YOU DON’T FINISH

The Spanish team finished last night in Capetown, SA, There were six boats that started the race and now two still racing. The Spanish may well have throttled back once they were no longer being pressed by Puma, who lost their mast on November 21st.
On the other hand, with half of the fleet withdrawn from this first leg, there is plenty of opportunity for the points to be recouped. It is still a long way around.
