Since the start on Sunday from Victoria, the winds have been from 0-10 knots, mostly 0. Hence, advantage goes to human-powered vessels. But there has been a little bit more breeze lately and the trimaran sail boats have started to move a bit. Behind the paddle boards and row boats are the monohull sailboats.
Should the winds cooperate, the trimarans should finish quickly. But it’s a possible big story if someone finishes the race under human power alone, and that looks very plausible. Big waves and the limits of human endurance will determine.
