Charlie Dalin has become the new leader of the Vendée Globe, gaining 33 nautical miles on rival Yoann Richomme after a significant recovery in the South Atlantic. Dalin mentioned that he hasn’t held the lead in a while and remains cautious about fluctuating weather conditions near Brazil. Meanwhile, Sébastien Simon holds the third position but faces calmer sailing conditions. Thomas Ruyant’s unique trajectory along the South American coast is noteworthy, with six skippers tightly competing for the fifth position.
