Sirius, a Saint-Pierre boat skippered by Stephane Bry is keeping up the chase.  There's just 8 nm between the two vessels at this hour. The mini Nacira 6.50 owned by Rodolphe Victorri of Saint-Pierre is living up to its racing reputation.  He's moved into first place in PHRF racing and holding a strong boat speed of 11.4 kts despite its 21 foot length.  Larry Cohen and "Dawn Treader" are pushing through to the finish, holding on to first position for IRC racers.
