The latest from Race Control in Alicante has the leading trio in the fleet finishing overnight on Friday. The models suggest the most likety time for the leading boat to finish is near 0300 local time (CEST). But there is a lot of uncertainty in the modeling, so it could be slightly earlier if they get just a fraction more wind, or of course slide back if the calms return. We will keep you updated here. Looks like a long night!!
