Loyal to their philosophy of compensating for their lack of speed with a certain boldness, Alan, Conrad, Lucie, and Mathis have kept on taking options since the start of this fourth leg, with less success than hoped for the moment. “We haven't managed to turn things around to catch up with the fleet and take advantage of the same weather systems. Every time, they pull ahead... but we're not giving up!”
After 23 days of racing, competing, learning, sharing knowledge, and training, tiredness is starting to set in for the skipper and his crew, but their enthusiasm remains intact. “There are many uncertainties ahead of us, but we're staying focused and the atmosphere on board is still great!”
