Puma Breaks Away

PUMA (Ken Read) broke away from the rest of the Volvo fleet today and headed for the open ocean. She gybed away from the shore and onto a westerly course at around 1040 GMT and has added over 20 nautical miles to her lead over the last 24 hours. Telefónica Black (Fernando Echávarri) made the move west yesterday and is now 328 nautical miles offshore and the Spanish team’s position is not looking good. The black boat is now 221 nautical miles behind il Mostro, who snatched the lead from Ericsson 3.
