Christmas in the Tasman Sea
South of Tasmania, the Christmas park-up has been temporarily suspended for the Global Ocean Race leaders as Cessna Citation and BSL are on the move again with Campagne de France hard on the chase, although the weather for the Tasman Sea crossing is far from clear. West of the leading trio by 700 miles, Financial Crisis and Phesheya-Racing face a Christmas Eve and Christmas Day gale at 45S.

For Conrad Colman and Sam Goodchild, the breeze filtered back in on Friday evening GMT with the New Zealand-British duo climbing north from 48S on Cessna Citation and by 12:00 GMT on Christmas Eve, Ross and Campbell Field in second with BSL had slowed down to just over four knots – half the speed of Cessna Citation – trailing Colman and Goodchild by 126 miles with both boats reaching the same latitude as the southern tip of New Zealand’s South Island.
