An update from Alex Thomson's team this afternoon says Hugo Boss is making about 9.5 knots towards Les Sables d'Olonne and believe he should arrive back there in the early morning of  Wednesday 12th November.

" On inspection at daylight the crack is located between the aft keelbox and bulkhead. Only a small amount of water is being taken onboard, water is squirting through the crack as the boat flexes and is completely manageable. Alex is currently bailing out every three hours. HUGO BOSS is currently sailing downwind back to Les Sables d’Olonne under main and headsail only.

They are expected to arrive in Les Sables d’Olonne early morning on Wednesday the 12^th November. 

At 1330 GMT HUGO BOSS was 122 miles off  Les Sables d’Olonne, making about 9.5 knots."
