IMOCA
Four of the remaining 6 IMOCA Open 60’s which are now into the final the miles of the Transat Jacques Vabre race: Aviva, Akena, Veolia & W Hotels, are now all in stealth mode. It seems to be the fashion in this Transat for the boats to go in to Furtiv mode during the final approach to Costa Rica. This may have tactical advantages for the teams, but it is frustrating for the spectators/followers/supporters. Results are sourced from the Jacques Vabre website.
