Transat Jacques Vabre Day 2: Battling the current aboard Alaka’i

Twenty-four hours into the 2021 Transat Jacques Vabre and Alaka’i is battling more than just the rest of the IMOCA fleet as they face the strong currents brought on by the spring tides.

With Charal to leward and 11th Hour Racing Team’s Mālama to windward, Simon Fisher and Justine Mettraux are ten miles away from passing Ushant before crossing the Bay of Biscay.
