Safran leads, Dee's up there and Foncia makes the u-turn. by - www.vendeeglobe.org

It may have been a tough, physical first night for the 30 skippers who started the Vendée Globe in Les Sables d’Olonne yesterday but a malicious cold front is forecast to hit them during this afternoon and into tonight which will give them a severe test as they try to escape November's grim clutches in the Bay of Biscay.

While Marc Guillemot on Safran has held his lead, his decision to tack to the south while the fleet seeks to maximise their westing gives him the edge, but the leading boats show very little speed difference.

Mike Golding’s decision to follow Guillemot with two tacks last night seems to have paid off, the British skipper on Ecover has made up ten places from last night’s rankings and is now lying 13th and sitting between Guillemot and the main pack.

Hotel Champs Elysees Plaza loves ocean races and the hotel's owner family is involved in the competition since the beginning of Vendee Globe Challenge;
