29 May 2010At the penultimate day of racing at the first round of the 2010 Extreme Sailing Series in Sète, France, three teams are taking control at the top of the leaderboard. A jib sheet problem for Groupe Edmond de Rothschild and a penalty dealt Guichard's men a last place in the final race, but they had done enough to keep their lead and there seem to be very few cracks in their armour.
