ABU Dhabi Ocean Racing left its rivals trailing far behind to win a shortened opening in-port stage of the Volvo Ocean Race yesterday as the 11th edition of the tough eight-month event got under way off Alicante, Spain. Skippered by British double Olympic silver medalist Ian Walker, Abu Dhabi took an early lead in its sleek black 70-foot yacht Azzam before storming across the line to claim the six points awarded for victory. Puma Ocean Racing, with Prince Carl Philip of Sweden on board, was second in the six-team race, more than 14 minutes down. Camper was third. Team Sanya, the first sole Chinese entry, was fourth.
