YB replays four historic voyages beside the 2026 fleet, day for day. Two of them — Van Den Heede’s 2018 win and Neuschäfer’s 2022 win — are complete enough to race against.

How the gap is measured
A time comparison. Behind a ghost, the replay shows when the ghost passed this boat’s distance to finish, so “−1 d” means the ghost was here a day ago. Ahead of a ghost, the days until it arrives are extrapolated at its pace over the last seven replay days.
The 2018 and 2022 fleets sailed slightly different courses. YB places their tracks on the 2026 course, and we take its distance to finish as given.
