The Ocean Race returns to the north

(May 2, 2023; Day 10) – Last night (UTC), Team Malizia led 11th Hour Racing Team across the equator, as The Ocean Race returned to the northern hemisphere.

But the margin was slim – just over two minutes separated the leading pair.

“Hopefully we’re going to cross in first… by about 200 metres I would say,” said Will Harris from on board Malizia. “It’s going to be a dogfight the whole way up (to Newport) I think.

“We’ve sailed down the Atlantic, all the way around and back up. That’s a big part of ‘around the world’ done now.”
