Team Legato Lags...the frustrations continue

by Barry Pickthall on 26 Jan 2001 Tony Bullimore and his TEAM LEG|LEGATO crew are resigned to the fact that they
will not experience the strong westerly winds in the Southern Ocean until
the weekend.

lattitudes and give chase to their Polish rivals on ‘Warta Polpharma’. The
Poles are enjoying perfect conditions down at 42 27’S and covered 495 miles
during the past 24 hours against TEAM LEGATO’s 168.
