British ocean racer Chris Stanmore-Major today informed the race management of the VELUX 5 OCEANS that he will enter stealth mode at 1800 UTC on Saturday April 2. His position will therefore remain hidden from the public and the other competitors for a 24 hour period. His last position from 1200 UTC April 2 will remain the published position on the race viewer until it is next updated at 1800 UTC on Sunday April 3. The race management will continue to monitor his position as usual every 30 minutes.
CSM is the first competitor in the VELUX 5 OCEANS to enter stealth mode, a new introduction for Ocean Sprint 4. Stealth mode adds a new aspect to the tactical navigation game as the fleet of Eco 60s race through the changeable weather conditions off Brazil. Stealth mode is a 24 hour period where the position of the boat is kept hidden. Each ocean racer can enter stealth mode twice during the leg, except once they are within 500 miles of Charleston.
