In the latest updates from the Vendée Globe, a drop in wind intensity has reshuffled the leaderboard after the fleet passed the Canary Islands. Boris Herrmann of Malizia-Seaexplorer has surged to third place, while previous frontrunners Yoann Richomme and Charlie Dalin have fallen to fifth and sixth positions. Sam Goodchild of Vulnerable has taken the lead, closely followed by Nicolas Lunven from Holcim-PRB. While calm conditions offer sailors a chance to rest, they must remain vigilant for sudden wind shifts, as noted by Paul Meilhat from Biotherm, as the fleet heads toward Cape Verde.
