Already at the Fastnet, Kinsale tonightIt was set to be a sprint leg, and the first two thirds of the course between Brest and the Celtic Sea were covered at high speed, with no great tactical options available. The fleet remained tightly grouped until last night when competitors engaged in a battle of tacks, in a breeze which has become stable since dawn, and a sea state which is gradually settling down.
