Volvo ocean flotilla sets sail
Print Edition
The fourth leg of the Volvo Ocean Race got under way yesterday, with the seven boats in the gruelling round-the-world odyssey sailing from Melbourne on a tough 18-day route to Hong Kong.
The stage is a 5,800 nautical mile (10,742 kilometers) race north, up the east coast of Australia, with the navigational challenge of dodging numerous islands, before arriving in the southern Chinese city and former British territory for the first time.
Spanish team Mapfre won the third and brutal Southern Ocean stage from Cape Town to Melbourne, arriving on Christmas Eve ahead of Chinese entry Dongfeng Race Team and Vestas.
Mapfre also won the second leg from Lisbon and has the overall lead in the 11-stage race that is due to end in The Hague on June 25. The 2017-18 Volvo Ocean Race is the longest in the competition鈥檚 44-year history, stretching over eight months and 45,000 nautical miles around the globe.
