Race 9 Day 4; Santa Cruz to Panama
The Clipper Round the World Race fleet are well on their way to Panama, racing down the western coast of the States. They have been experiencing fast downwind conditions up until now and there has been the odd spinnakar wrap reported! – not aboard Nova Scotia we are glad to hear!
Conditions have slowed down over the last 24hrs and are set to continue to do so as the fleet moves further South. This will mean lots of sail changes, trimming and tactical decisions.
EMT ambassador Dan Monk is aboard Nova Scotia who made a cunning tactical decision in the last leg, which put them on the podium and we are waiting to see if they can pull the same off in this leg. They currently have just under 2500 knm to go so there is lots to play for.
