In consultation with The Race committee, the boat was granted a time allowance based amongst other things on the course diversion, the weather conditions and the time spent at the dockside. The stop in Wellington added to the time allowance of seven hours they received when they stopped in Gibraltar.

Team Legato - 'the Survivors' - still beating upwind

Monday night: wind from the north-east force 4 to 5, then north-east weakening to force 4 tonight to Gibraltar. Waves from the north 1.5 to 2 meters.
Tuesday: wind from the east, force 4 weakening and becoming variable force 3 by midday. Waves insignificant.
