Not quite. Leaderboard says it is a deduced position based on the last signal they received from the beacon. I hope this means that they have reason to believe she is still racing and just isn't sending out a signal, and not that there is an issue.

Intriguing to see how Chris Wild's navigation strategy might turn out for Scallywag. Thanks to @forssfor his tracker options once again: the Currents display looks like Wild is setting up for the currents (gyre?) in a few hours

Alive looks to have bailed. A big shame. Good boat and team.
Looks like at least 19 teams are out now.

Damn, there goes my favourite. Love that boat and Duncan is one of the nicest guys you could meet.

As it stands now, the 2h Crux would be 4th overall on IRC if........
Which would put two S&S 34s in the top 4 ...
They do have a wee bit left to go though.

With nice downwind stuff finally arriving in ~3 more days, I'm thinking overall IRC ought to favor a well-sailed slow boat...

I'm loving the race between Crux and Azzurro. One boat with all the heavy gear replaced with carbon fiber and the other with all the heavy crew taken off
Their transponder is acting up plus this tracker is the worst one out of any races. The coverage and tracker have been the same story for the past 8 years, tough to keep thinking it will change.
Dislocated shoulder on a boat can't be much fun. Interesting that there have been a few retirements due to engine issues.
Retirements: Moneypenny (broken forestay), Blink (torn main), Mako (damaged main), URM (damaged main), Hip-Nautic (damaged main), TSA Management (damaged main), No Limit (crew with dislocated shoulder), Minerva (damaged main), Mille Sabords (damaged main), Nautical Circle (rigging issues), White Noise (window damage), Zen (minor injury), Gweilo (damaged forestay), Eora (broken backstay), Ariel (damaged main), Oskana (broken forestay), Enchantress (broken forestay), Denali (hull damage), OzDesign Patrice Six (engine issues), Philosopher (engine issues), Huntress (TBC), Extasea (engine issues), Alive (hull damage) and Kayimai (electrical issues).

The TP's and big boats are all moving up the IRC rankings.
Crux may actually be lighter than Azzurro. It is the former Blondie and may be the lightest S&S34 ever built (which is sort of a funny phrase when you think about it, as these are not exactly light boats for their size ...).I'm loving the race between Crux and Azzurro.
