With just over 24 hours left in Race 14, the Derry “LondonDerry” Doire is neck and neck with Team Garmin at the front of the 12-strong fleet.
Having regained a marginal lead, the Derry Clipper is doing all it can to keep its closest rivals at bay and break the home port curse.
It was a spectacular night of tight match racing as just nine miles now separates the top four boats.
The final positions in the 2,850 mile race from New York to Derry will be decided at 1.00pm (Irish time) tomorrow, when places will be awarded on the basis of distance to the original finish line off Greencastle at the mouth of Lough Foyle.
The first boats are estimated to arrive at Derry on Monday morning, with the full fleet on the Foyle by Tuesday afternoon.
