Conditions in Aarhus have been incredible so far during the stopover and the sunny skies are forecast to continue into Sunday’s In-Port Race. Crowds have been enjoying the warmth and the city of smiles has been living up to its name.
Sunday’s In-Port Race marks the return of the VO65 fleet as they resume the VO65 Sprint. After racing from Alicante to Cabo Verde in January, the fleet returns with some familiar faces and new sailors getting a first opportunity on the world’s greatest crewed offshore race.
For the IMOCA fleet, the In-Port Race series leaderboard acts as a tie-breaking mechanism for the overall results in The Ocean Race. With the points table for the race being so close at the top, results here are very important.
11th Hour Racing Team leads this series and has never finished lower than second place in the four races to date. But despite that impressive streak, they are only one point clear of Team Malizia, while Team Holcim-PRB sits a further 6 points back.
The VO65 fleet kicks things off on Sunday with racing starting at 12.10 local time (10.10 UTC). Then it will be the IMOCAs at 14.15 local time (12.15 UTC).
The forecast is for a light sea breeze of 4 to 7 knots, which should get more established as the day progresses.
