28 / 11 / 2018: Maserati Multi 70 orders in the Transatlantic Race... in Monocascos Chuny Bermudez

Maserati continues to head the general fleet and the multicascos... the canaries Oliver Herrera and Carlos Hernandez in the crew of the Maserati
When the third day of the race is fulfilled, the Maserati Multi 70, continues in the head of the race, leading with three miles of advantage over the other multi 70 present in the race the Power Plate, second classified in the absolute general in real time.
After the departure last Saturday from the waters of Arrecife, the fleet of 11 participating ships has had a few days difficult due to anomalous weather conditions, to overcome the Canary Islands and its areas of influence, which forced the Maserati to sail from the north the first two days.
It has not been until 5 hours (UTC) this morning when the Italian trimaran, where the canaries Oliver Herrera and Carlos Hernandez sail on their crew, has been able to turn and amurate themselves to starboard, where they have the advantage to make work the rudder equipped with fire, and have set a direct course to the island of Granada where the arrival is located.
At 8 (UTC) this morning the Maserati Multi 70 is located 1981 miles from the said island and sails 23.5 miles. The Power Plate is only 3 miles from the back, but it sails at 20.8 knots of speed, three knots less than the Maserati. While they are far away from the ideal course to be able to beat the record of the journey established in 2016 by also British Multi 70 Phaedo 3.
In the division of monocascos the Kuka 3, whose pattern is the Galician Chuny Bermudez de Castro, is leader in time compensated for the absolute general and second in real, after the leader the My Song, 3 times larger than the Kuka 3.
