0500 local time / 0300 UTC: They've done it!! 11th Hour Racing Team win leg 5 of The Ocean Race. The 10 points they will earn for this leg will put them in first place on the overall leaderboard. By how much will depend on the battle taking place some 50 miles behind between Team Holcim PRB and Team Malizia.

11th Hour Racing Team
Finish : 29/05/2023 02:56:49 UTC
Race time: 7d 08h 41min 49s
Over ortho : 3 433.83 nm / 19.43 kts
Over ground : 3 873.84 nm / 21.92 kts

0438 local time / 0238 UTC: It won't be long now - just over 3 miles to go and 11th Hour Racing Team is racing at about 11 knots, almost pointing at the finish. 

0415 local time / 0215 UTC: Maybe just a couple more tacks for 11th Hour Racing team, now less than 7 miles from the finish line, which is still upwind.  

This would be a momentous win for the team and as leg 5 is a double-points scoring leg, a victory here would vault them over Team Holcim-PRB and into the overall race lead for the first time. The fight behind is still very close - Team Malizia is closing the gap with Holcim-PRB....

0340 local time / 0140 UTC: Charlie Enright's 11th Hour Racing Team is slowing down a little bit as they make the turn to the west, pointing towards the finish. It will be an upwind beat for the final miles, pushing the ETA back slightly.

0300 local time / 0100 UTC: As 11th Hour Racing Team makes the turn for the final 15 miles, the fight for second, some 60 miles behind is getting fierce. Team Holcim-PRB is trying to hold off Team Malizia, just 4 miles back.

0225 local time / 0025 UTC: This was the report off the 11th Hour Racing Team boat earlier today. "Hi, it's Charlie Enright - filling in as your on board reporter... We just did our first gybe off the Norwegian archipelago... It’s pretty windy. We're about 25 miles ahead of Team Holcim-PRB and 40 miles ahead of Malizia. … we have about 4 hours of big wind and this big push and then it’s down to Denmark and the finish."

0205 local time / 0005 UTC: 11th Hour Racing Team continues its torrid pace towards the finishing line just off Aarhus, with an ETA expected after 0400 local time. The team will need to navigate some unpredictable offshore breezes near the coast before a final, upwind push. But with Team Holcim-PRB and Team Malizia both 50 miles behind, victory in leg 5 is certainly within reach.
