R2AK Split Around Hunter Island, Sail Like A Girl and Lagopus

Sail Like A Girl, Lagopus and Wild Card continue to lead the multihulls, with Sail Like A Girl leaving Banks Island to starboard and Lagopus leaving it to port. In the meantime, dark horse Wild Card lost the lead going inside Hecate and Hunter Islands, then lost a lot of ground in the hours after the Bella Bella checkpoint. Right now all three are relatively slow, with the big question mark as to who will have chosen the right path, Sail Like A Girl or Lagopus. The trimaran Ptarmigan is coming on fast while Wild Card seems to be wallowing a bit offshore.

It’ll be an interesting last 1/4 of the race. Tracker here.

Here’s a little video by Jackie Philpott on the Wild Card program.
