\"\"<\/a>The Maxi Yachts that started on July 3 from Newport, R.I. to The Lizard in southeast England have been making fantastic progress. The yachts are all opting for the direct route and maximizing speed. Rambler 100, <\/em>the Juan Kouyoumdjian-designed 100\u2019 canting keel maxi, is averaging close to 20 knots and predicted to finish on the 10th of July.\u00a0This will set an exceptional benchmark for a transatlantic crossing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Rambler 100 <\/em>is closely competing with PUMA’s Mar Mostro<\/em>.\u00a0 PUMA has taken up a slightly more northerly position however, the Point Alpha ice gate is looming and the Volvo 70 may need to alter course towards the east to leave the mark of the course to port.\u00a0 Nearly one hundred miles behind Rambler 100<\/em>, ICAP Leopard<\/em> is south of the rhumb line and enjoying better breeze than the two rivals in front.<\/p>\n

The young Oakcliff All American Offshore Team, racing aboard the Reichel Pugh-designed Vanquish, <\/em>are thrilled with the experience, and opportunity and are managing to hold their own rather well despite the fiercely sophisticated competition.<\/p>\n

In IRC Class Two, Jazz<\/em>, is the frontrunner and the\u00a0Cookson 50 has altered course north, aiming for a low-pressure system. This move north also avoids an area of little wind to the south that the German Rogers 46s, Shakti <\/em>and Varuna<\/em>, have been unable to take.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Second Start, June 29 – ?? Amory Ross<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The IRC Class Three lead is maintained by Zaraffa<\/em>. Ambersail<\/em>\u2019s move south saw the Lithuanian crew make up some ground but\u00a0 ahead lies an area of little wind and they will need to move sideways to the northto get into pressure.<\/p>\n

In IRC Class Four, Carina<\/em> has given a remarkable performance but their competition has most definitely caught up some miles.\u00a0 Carina <\/em>chose a southerly route, while the Army Sailing Association\u2019s British Soldier<\/em>, among others, stayed to the north.\u00a0British Soldier <\/em>has advanced 30 miles on Carina<\/em>, but the American team is still over 170 miles ahead.<\/p>\n

Ned Collier-Wakefield\u2019s (Oxford, U.K.) Concise 2<\/em> is currently 60 miles ahead of Dragon<\/em>, skippered by Mike Hennessy (Mystic, Conn.).\u00a0 The two Class 40s have been enjoying some fast-reaching conditions and are now fully offshore many miles from land.<\/p>\n

\u201cDragon<\/em> passed the longitude of Point Alpha and now the next mark of the course is Lizard Point, a mere 1800 miles down the road,\u201d reported Hennessy in a message revealing his thoughts as they head out into the Atlantic.\u00a0 \u201cFunny enough, our entire race thus far has been within about 100 miles of land.\u00a0 Now we are heading off into that big open space in between, the wild blue yonder.\u00a0 See you on the other side.\u201d<\/p>\n
