There has been a significant change in The Race overnight.
Grant Dalton's boat Club Med has overhauled Innovation Explorer to take a commanding lead in the non-stop race around the globe.
Dalton has had the better of the winds over the past 24 hours to convert a 45 nautical mile deficit into a lead of 134 nautical miles off the coast of Africa.
Third place PlayStation continues to make up ground and is now 407 miles in arrears.
The leading boats are finding the best positions to enter the Doldrums surrounding the equator as The Race enters its second week.
