Thomas Ruyant (LinkedOut) was the third Vendée Globe skipper to round Cape Horn when he passed at 0040hrs UTC early this Monday morning. Ruyant passed 1 day 10hrs 57 minutes behind leader Yannick Bestaven (Maître Coq) and 20 hours after Charlie Dalin (Apivia).

Two hours exactly afterwards, so at 0240hrs UTC it was Damien Seguin on Group Apicil who completed his first passage of Cape Horn, rounding in fourth at 1day 12hrs 58minutes after Bestaven. Of the four Seguin has been quickest in the Pacific by a matter of 4hrs and 19 minutes.
