Hose change for Sébastien Marsset

Eagle eyed tracker watchers maybe saw Sébastien Marsset slowed this morning! He had a problem with the keel ram hydraulic hose, which caused an oil leak on board.

After telling his team and race management of this problem, he set about repairing it in full “site gear” (gloves, overalls, safety glasses). As he had a spare hose, he managed to repair the blocked valve and change the hose. Around 4:30pm, he was finally able to confirm that the keel was working again. On the 1500hrs ranking Sébastien Marsset was 25th and was part of the group heading north of the southern depression that is affecting a big part of the second half of the fleet.
